The first Dutch F-16 is back in Leeuwarden: "My life's work"

It is now considered an old bird and hasn't flown for a long time, but after 47 years, it is once again standing proudly and gleaming in its familiar spot. The first F-16 that Leeuwarden had is back home. "This is a historic moment, to see it back here like this," says Base Commander Marcel van Egmond, who has also flown the F-16 himself. At the time, Wim Sneek was the first Dutch pilot to sit in the cockpit.
