NF-5B KLu
Woensdrecht, 19 October 1988.
K-4002 with a unique emblem on the tail. A fighter jet with a walking stick and 'VUD', meaning Vervroegde Uit Dienststelling: early retirement.
After retirement many Dutch NF-5's were flown to Woensdrecht airbase and put in storage. When the last Northrops were withdrawn from service in 1991, most of these went to Greece or Turkey. K-4002 however went to Venezuela.
On this day in 1988 the base organized a photo opportunity for the jets.
