F-16AM Fighting Falcon

F-16 in the Royal Norwegian Air Force

Norway was one of the pioneers in the European F-16 procurement and co-production program. On July 21, 1975, together with Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark, it signed an agreement for the purchase of modern multi-role fighters. The choice fell on the American F-16 Fighting Falcon project, which revolutionized modern aviation with its maneuverability, modern avionics and relatively low operating costs.

Over four decades of service!

Norwegian F-16s stood out from other aircraft of this type with their light gray paint scheme, the Norwegian flag on the tail, and a unique numbering system linked to American numbers. Norway's short and snow-covered runways, often located in scattered locations, required their F-16s to be equipped with drag parachutes to cope with situations where regular wheel brakes could not be used.

For over four decades of service, Norwegian F-16s participated in many key international operations under NATO auspices, including Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya and patrolling the airspace of the Baltic States as part of NATO's Baltic Air Policing.

After 42 years of service, the last operational flight of the Norwegian F-16 took place on January 6, 2022. Although the aircraft were retired from active service, many remained operational and found a second life – some ended up in Romania, others were sold to training companies.
