J-877 still active ?!?

Post by Pauljos2001 »

Haven't seen or heard of this F-16 J-877 (81-0877) for some time.
Is it still active?
Rumours go that it's an weapon trainer at Leeuwarden AFB at the moment.....

Yep. correct. In use as dedicated weapons trainer. In the good old days this task was sheared between the F-16 fleet for each a few months of weapons training dutie. But since arms reduction version xxx of a few years ago J-877 was chosen as dedicated F-16 weapons trainer.
