The Belgian Air Component (BAC) or Composante Air belge has operated the F-16 Fighting Falcon since 1979, making it the backbone of its air defense capability for over four decades. Belgium was one of the four European countries (along with Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands) that selected the F-16 in 1975, initially acquiring 160 F-16A/Bs. Belgian F-16s have participated in numerous NATO operations, including missions in the Balkans, Libya, Iraq, and air surveillance operations. The BAC has been internationally recognized for the excellence of its F-16 pilots and its air demonstration team, the famous "Dark Falcons."
The F-16 Falcon represents decades of operational excellence in the Belgian Air Component. Belgian pilots have consistently demonstrated their mastery in handling the F-16, participating in international exercises and NATO operations.

The Belgian F-16, with its distinctive color schemes and emblems, has become a symbol of national pride and excellence in combat aviation. Although Belgium is in the process of transitioning to the F-35, the legacy of the F-16 in Belgian aviation is indelible.
