Charleroi/EBCI 2022 MIL

[AK01]

4x ANG F16's departed Toledo/ USA for Charleroi around 12.00CET. Arrival in the beginning of the evening.
Hope this is in time for someone to catch them on arrival, and share the serials/ pictures with us.

Why Charleroi? Will these be sold onwards after maintenance/upgrades at SABCA?

Why Charleroi? Will these be sold onwards after maintenance/upgrades at SABCA?

Because there is a maintenance contract in place...for Europe based as well as US based.

Richard, I estimate that at least 10 non Europe based F16,s have had maintenance at Sabca. Apart from that SP an AV are also undergoing their APK at Sabca.

Someone the last two callsigns ? Or just just simple 314 and 315 ?

Thanks!

Lets hope the rest will all come together in one ferry flight ?

[Corentin Romedenne]

Should be 310 and 311 or 314 and 315. 312 was the leader i think.

According to someone of FB group of EBCI, the other are scheduled "next year".
