General Dynamics F-16AM Fighting Falcon (c/n 6H-93)
Belgian Air Force
Dübendorf Air Base (LSMD)
03 September 2003
The Belgian Air Force procured a total of 136 F-16A and 24 F-16Bs in the eighties. Many of the F-16As received an MLU (mid-life update) with more modern avionics, improved radar, enhanced weapons systems and better electronic warfare capabilities. The upgraded F-16As were designated as F-16AMs.
Included was serial FA93, a Block 15R F-16AM delivered in 1980. Operated by the 31st Tiger Squadron, it was captured rocketing out of runway 11 at Dübendorf during a visit of six of the type to Switzerland, still wearing a special colour scheme that dated back to the 2003 NATO Tiger Meet at Cambrai Air Base in France in June 2003.
A few months later, FA93 was sadly involved in a fatal mid-air with sistership FA122, when both aircraft collided during a low-level high-threat exercise over Marche-en-Famenne, Belgium, in December 2003. For some reason, the pilot of FA93 did not eject and was killed in the accident, while the pilot of FA122 successfully ejected and sustained minor injuries only.
Willard Martin (b. 1917) held various jobs before he was hired by Convair San Diego as a metal worker. For the next 30 years, Martin worked at Convair, eventually serving much of his career as the Operations General Supervisor, a task that involved supervising experiment department operations, engineering test lap support, model shop operations, mockup and wind tunnel support. In addition, he managed all instrumentation fabrication, installation and field support operations for the Cruise Missile Program and others. In 1976, he was elected by members of the National Management Association, General Dynamics Convair Chapter, as Director of Public Relations from 1976 to 1977.
