These 8 F-16's departed last Monday morning to Araxos for a Sqn exchange with the Greek air force. Six of those aircraft will be used in the Libya actions:
BAF501: FA-103
BAF502: FA-56
BAF503: FA-81
BAF504: FA-123
BAF511: FA-116
BAF512: FB-20
BAF513: FA-82
BAF514: FA-136
According to sources on Twitter (http://twitter.com/FMCNL): "Belgian Air Force F-16 fighters entered Malta ACC today at 15:00UTC: TROX 11 tail #FA82 and TROX 13 tail #FA136."
The first mission of the Belgian F-16s was concluded without any intervention. Four F-16's verified the no-fly zone. They patrolled over the Mediterranean sea west of Crete and were supported by AWACS aircraft. The jets safely returned to base (Araxos).
For more info on the F-16s participating in Operation Odyssey Dawn, check our serials database: http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F ... ey%20Dawn/ |

Thanks. It's been added to the list.

Will wait for additional confirmation before adding more 480 FS birds as this picture alone does not prove it was actually used.
Anyone got further serials and photo proofs we can use to backup or update the participants list? |

Slightly off topic: First coalition aircraft loss. A F-15E Strike Eagle from the 'Heath' it would seem has come down in last nights raids. See this post in the forum.
