How many arrived on Nov 9? I thought next ones were coming in today 10/10.
Two arrived yesterday and that's exactly what I thought Bill. No idea if this changes that or not.
The two that came in yesterday were the ones that were supposed to come in today. They left early and I didn't get the word until the last minute.
First mission flown for the Dutch today was a single-ship:

Hello, gorgeous.
And hello funky underwing stores I have not been acquainted with yet!
They look like the funky AIM-9 hi-vis thingys minus the fins. Some have the "ball end" while others have the seeker head on them. Curious....

Looks to be the same set up as the inert sidewinder/AMA loadout on the 'murrican Vipers.
I wonder if the "non-thermal" looking heads are stripped down radar seekers?
Only one Dutch F-16A flew this morning, the same one as yesterday J-019.
