Get the Dutch F-16A in the Workhorse Event!
The Year of the Horse is approaching, and to celebrate, we’re offering you a true workhorse of Western air forces: the ever-popular F-16A fighter in its Dutch configuration. And along with it, the emblems of two Royal Netherlands Air Force squadrons flying the F-16A. 322 Squadron traces its history back to the Second World War, when it flew with the Royal Air Force. In the 1980s, both squadrons received their F-16As and remain loyal to them to this day!
