Belguim was one of the first international customers of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The first of 180 ordered was delivered in 1979, replacing the F-104 Starfighter. Eventually, seven squadrons were equiped with the F-16A blocks 1-15. Beginning in 1993, 90 Belgian Falcons were sent through the MLu (Mid-Life upgrade) program while the rest of the fleet were sent into storage. Currently, 72 F-16's serve in 4 active squadrons, along with a conversion unit. The fleet will be reduced to about 60 by 2015, but there is no current plans for replacing the F-16 fleet in the naer future. Belgian F-16's operated with NATO forces over Kosovo during Operation Allied Force in 1999, and have been rotated with NATO forces in Afghanistan.

349 Squadron, the Maces, was formed at RAF Wittering on 5 June, 1943. The squadron was formed by the British RAF, but was manned by Belgian pilots operating the Spitfire. The squadron operated over the Normandy landings in June 1944, and then moved to mainland Europe after the landings. The squadron was turned over to Belgian control on 24 October, 1946. Since then, the squadron has operated other aircraft types such as the Meteor and the F-104 Starfighter. They currently operate as part of 10 Wing at Kleine Brogel in Belguim.
