    USAF F-16C #86-0231 with number 13 of the 527th AS at Bentwaters in 1990. The USAFE agressor squadron only flew with the viper for two years. Also a reason why they were never adorned with a true agressor livery, like their American counterparts. These units were disbanded in 1991, after the demise of the Iron Curtain [Airsceneuk photo by Graham Haynes]
