In Memoriam

Klaas Willem Jonker
(Wilko)
† April 30, 2018

On Monday, April 30, 2018, Wilko Jonker passed away after a long illness at the age of 58. He leaves behind a wife and two children. The Dutch military aviation and plastic model building were his hobby and on this website he has shared all the knowledge he has gathered about it over the many years. His hobby was able to distract him from the raging disease in his body until the last week of his life. The contacts with other hobbyists were a major support for him.

General-Dynamics F-16A: Display 1980-1983.

During this period 322 squadron (which was one of the first Dutch squadrons operational on the F-16) had adopted the display flying with the F-16.
Usual standard F-16s were flown by flying officer captain Gert "Barney" Booij.
In 1983 J-252 had a nice red tail applied because of the 40th anniversary of squadron 322 and this aircraft was used for display flying.
