F16 - RIAT 2009

The Dutch F-16 appeared in a special Airshow Coloring – Airwolfhound

The lion depicted on this particular aircraft is taken from the Dutch national Coat of arms, while the orange color scheme refers to the name of the ruling Royal House, ‘the Oranges’. This particular plane was painted in this livery for the occasion of the RNLAF’s 95th birthday and to attract more candidates for the Air Force. We thank our loyal reader, drs. VHJM van Neerven the editor-in-chief for VNCcc for the information.
