Yes I would also be very happy with those - really good set with some interesting close-ups.

Very nice. Volkel holds great memories for me so it is nice to see such shots. Well done for overcoming the greyness!

Grey or not grey, they are a nice set of photos, I'm amazed at some were built in FY 1987. The original pilots sons will be flying them now!

This is usually how they do it.
The pilot flies the new one from Volkel to Alverca, stays overnight, and flies back with the freshly painted one the next day.
J-146 is as far as I know the only Dutch F-16 that has never had a paintjob since it's delivery. It really needed it :D
