Great pic, al be it from a later era........
What's the story about this bird initially having the TG badge on the tail, and later on having the 312 badge but still being a testbed?
J-653 testbed anno 1991 ?

 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

In the 90's it was nice to see the strange weapons it have hanging on it. Or testing the Mid Life Update electro stuff, when i stand @ Volkel it fly almost every week. Maybe we get a new TG-KLu with the new Join Strike Fighter.

Judging from her load-out on the last pic, I would still say she was been used as a testbed...Lightning wrote:the only thing is that they did not spent time in removing the text.
It is no longer in use as test-airframe, it is even used some times in the past years as back-up for the F-16-demo.
But alas, yet another one gone to another country, Jordan...
