The Year of the Horse is approaching, and to celebrate, we’re offering you a true workhorse of Western air forces: the ever-popular F-16A fighter in its Dutch configuration. And along with it, the emblems of two Royal Netherlands Air Force squadrons flying the F-16A. 322 Squadron traces its history back to the Second World War, when it flew with the Royal Air Force. In the 1980s, both squadrons received their F-16As and remain loyal to them to this day!

F-16A — An Event Vehicle Dutch Jet Fighter for France at Rank VIII
The F-16A Block 5 is an early variant of the renowned American jet fighter, produced in the Netherlands, among other countries. It is a fast, maneuverable aircraft with an excellent rate of climb. The Dutch F-16A is armed with a 20 mm Vulcan cannon and guided missiles for close-range air-to-air combat. For anti-ground engagements, it can carry both unguided ordnance and AGM-65B Maverick air-to-ground missiles.
