Citat:As the Air Force brass touted the new F-15 Eagle and the Navy worked on the F-14 Tomcat, Colonel John R. Boyd and his henchmen dreamed and schemed of a lighter, more nimble plane that would out-perform both and cost less.

Citat:With Colonel Everest Riccioni and Pierre Sprey, Boyd formed a small advocacy group within Headquarters USAF which dubbed itself the "Fighter Mafia". Riccioni was an Air Force fighter pilot assigned to a staff position in Research and Development, while Sprey was a civilian statistician working in Systems Analysis. Together, they were the visionaries who conceived the FXX Light Weight Fighter program, which ultimately produced both the F-16 and F/A-18 Hornet, the latter a development of the YF-17 Light Weight Fighter.

...samo problem je što je ovo Holandski ili ti Nizozemski F-16 Pogledaj malo bolje oznaku, tj narandžastu tačku u sredini.

Kad smo već kod holanđana, izgleda da će jedan deo ovih aviona uskoro promeniti vlasnika....

Citat:Chile, Netherlands to finalize F-16 deal
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
Published: 29 Apr 2009 20:16
SANTIAGO - The Chilean Air Force is on the cusp of acquiring 18 used F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands, Defense Minister Francisco Vidal said Wednesday.
Although the $278 million contract has not yet been signed by the countries, Vidal insisted the deal was ready to go.
"The deal is closed - only the signatures are missing," Vidal said Wednesday, following an earlier denial from the Netherlands that a deal had been reached.
The F-16 fighters will replace Chile's aging F-5 jets, which have been in use since 1976. "Chile has acquired a new fleet of F-16 planes," Vidal announced late Tuesday after leaving a Defense Commission hearing in the Congress. The jets will join the Chilean Air Force in December, he added.
The purchase is the second military deal between Chile and the Netherlands, after Santiago's 2006 acquisition of 18 used F-16 jets at a cost of $185 million.
In 2003, Chile bought 10 new F-16 jets from U.S. defense giant Lockheed Martin at a cost of $660 million.

Има један леп филмић (траје мање од минута) на википедии али немогу да га окачим пошто има 3.14МБ. Ко хоће нека погледа (још увек незнам како да оставим адресу санимка са одређене странице на нету).
