    RNlAF F-16A block 15 #J-139 from 313 sqn had this 'Rausmaus' ventral fin art applied in 1988. The plane was named after mice had, during a 6 day closure of the shelter for X-mas, climbed up the wheels and landing gear and had eaten their way through cable feedthroughs in the wheelwells and also eaten away compartment and cable insulation materials from front to back of the plane.

The markings were painted on before his last flight and removed again after he landed. It was good to see the rain did not wash of the water colour paint. [Photo by Berry Vissers]

    RNlAF F-16A block 10 #J-255 from 312 sqn is seen here with a yellow tail.
