Yesterday 5 F-16AM were going from the storage at Weelde ( Belgium) to Jordan (Mod Edit). Regs are: FA65, FA66, FA73, FA74 FA76 .
My last info is that Jordan has bought in total 12 F-16 from Belgium.
48 F-16 will stay in service for the belgian AF, 36 at Florennes, 12 at Kleine Brogel. the rest is scrapped, stored or sold. Belgium bought 140 F-16 in total.

Have they undergone MLU and will they carry AIM-120B in Jordanian service ?
If yes Jordan will have an impressive asset in place, capable of defending the airspace even vs Israeli F16s with Derby BVR aams and even more vs Syrian MIG-29s with R27.
