Photographed from the Photobus at IAT94 this Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16A is a Block 10C model from 313 Squadron based at the time at Twenthe. This airframe was assembled by Fokker (L-091 is the Fokker C/N) and was initially assigned to 323 Squadron on the 17 April 1982. She passed to 313 Squadron in November 1993 who operated her until October 1994. She was later operated by both 311 and finally 312 Squadrons until she was damaged when the nosewheel collapsed while taxying out of her dispersal on the 15 December 2000. Following the accident she was stored at Volkel then at Soesterberg before being allocated to the Technical University in Delft as a ground instructional airframe replacing a F-104G D-8114.
