... VIPERS. Cheesy

Some pictures from Kleine Brogel today.

Looks like all the air force budget cuts are starting to show. Look at the first one, crappy paint job or what?

Cheers, Frank.

Agreed! Much nicer than when they're fresh out the paint shop. Cool

Excellent quality, there... and I agree that they look a little better with the showroom luster worn off. Wink

So, Lockheed are Belgian now are they? Roll Eyes

Nothing wrong with the Belgian Air Force (except their lack of support for Waddington this year).

Nice photos once again. I like the last one best. I can't get interested in modern military aircraft in their drab markings. They all look much the same now & lack the character of earlier types.

That seems a tad pedantic. Tongue

Lockheed Martin is a global corporation now like most aircraft manufacturers. Its European headquarters is in Brussels. Lockheed Martin Global, Inc

F-16
Belgium is one of four original countries comprising the European Participating Governments (EPG) that launched the international co production of the F-16. The first European F-16 assembly line opened in 1978 in Belgium.

Sorry, I only know the very basics of the corporate world ie I just think of Lockheed as American. Grin
