General-Dynamics F-16A Block 15: Display 1988: 75 Years RNlAF J-864.

During the season 1987 - 1988 air base Volkel hosted the F-16 display team, which was done by squadron 312 with flying officer captain Henry Schevers.
Initially a standard F-16 was used, but early 1988 J-864 received special 75 years RNlAF markings.
Once again smokewinders were used.
