Ok so that was a lame attempt at a headline. In just a couple months the Netherlands will begin to send more of its older F-16's to Chile where they will join 28 others in protecting the skies over Chile. This is not the first time the Netherlands has sold older F-16's to Chile as 18 of the 28 currently in service are A and B models formerly flown by the Netherlands. Chile currently flies 10 C/D models purchased directly from Lockheed. The new/old jets are currently being prepared at Leeuwarden Air Base for their trip to Chile in early November. In total 6 jets will be ferried to Chile and supported by a McDonnell Douglas KDC-10 Tanker/transport.
