In Memoriam

Klaas Willem Jonker
(Wilko)
† April 30, 2018

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

This website will be maintained by different people for as long as possible, so that other enthusiasts can continue to benefit from extensive content.

On this page you can find several drawings of special schemes applied on F-16s because of the jubilee of the squadrons.

This overview is far from complete.
In case you have information like (copies of) drawings used to spray the aircraft, detail photos, etcetera, please contact me, so I might be able to complete or correct this overview.

 


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.
