In November 1998 the New Zealand Government made the decision to lease 28 F-16 A/Bs to replace the A-4K Skyhawks of 2 and 75 Squadron.
However, with a subsequent change in Government, in early 2000 a decision was made to cancel the lease, and further disband New Zealand's Air Combat Wing in December 2001.
This livery represents 92-0406, which was assigned the RNZAF S/N NZ6529.
I've created a my own take of the Euro 1 scheme which was used on 2/75 SQN A-4K up to the 90s. Due to the Viper's having a bit more a sheen the colours appear a touch brighter than the matt finish on the A-4K.
92-0406 went on to serve with 9 SQN PAF, and was unfortunately lost in a crash in Mar 2020.
