The Belgian F-16s performed their first air-to-ground intervention earlier today.

Targets were hit and there appears to be no collateral damage.

Apparently one of the RDAF jets taking part in Odyssey Dawn is a former US block 15. It is a block 20 MLU now.


USAF F-16A block 15 #83-1075 from the 170th FS is photographed on the flightline in 1993, just before its transfer to Denmark as #E-075 in 1994.


Wonder why it was ever phased out of US inventory? Certainly these jets can be put to better use than as QF-16 drones?

Because in 1994, Springfield was converting to the C/D model and Denmark needed one or more replacements (attrition, spares, etc). It was MLU'd after it was transferred.

Video of Belgian F-16 bombing a Libyan fighter bomber and aircraft shelter. The large explosion suggests a fueled aircraft ready to fly.

Video of Dutch F-16s at Sardinia.

Didn't know the Dutch tankers had remote boomers. Neat! Cool
