    RNLAF F-16A block 5 #J-226 at the open house held at Skrydstrup AB on August 10th, 1980. Note the magnificent loadout of AIM-9L, AGM-65 and ALQ-119. These were all borrowed from the USAF for the occasion. The RNLAF acquired ALQ-131 pods in 1984 and the AGM-65 saw introduction only in the mid-nineties. Block 5 aircraft weren't optimised to carry these weapons. Also note the large Dutch roundel on the fuselage, common to the first deliveries. [Airliners.net photo by Erik Frikke]
