Callsign of the bird was planned to be Basic49, maybe Robin can confirm this as well.

The pilot, who had to be cut free from tree branches (...), mentioned a possible bird-hit. Kleine Brogel tower saw flames coming from the back end of this luckless F-16.
The mayor of Peer has put the "gemeentelijke rampenplan" in action, all inhabitants of Peer are advised to leave doors and windows closed.

F-16 FA99 apparently crashed not all that far from the "Voortstraat", see

Heard it confirmed on the Belgian radio news: the aircraft is a write off. One of six F-16s in storage will be taken on charge to replace FA99.

They have a permanent pool of six F-16s in storage, at both KB and FS. This pool will reduce to five.AMC wrote:Hi! Which six F-16 serials do they have in storage?
