Seis F-16CJ de la USAFE se retirarán de la base aérea de Spangdahlem en Alemania, dentro del plan para reducir el despliegue de aviones a 250 unidades. La 52nd Fighter Wing de Spangdahlem reducirá sus dos escuadrones de F-16 a uno solo a finales de año. Gran parte de los aviones retirados, se reubicarán en la 148th Fighter Wing, Guardia Aérea Nacional de Minnesota, en la base de Duluth, y otros sustituirán a F-16A, basados en Edwards, California.

Six F-16CJ ‘Fighting Falcons’ are due to depart Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany.
Part of the US Air Force’s Combat Air Forces Restructuring plan to reduce the fleet by 250 aircraft, the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem will see its two F-16 squadrons merge into one later this year.
The remaining 15 aircraft will be withdrawn in phases by the end of May with the next six due to leave on April 30. Most of the F-16s will go to the 148th Fighter Wing, Minnesota Air National Guard at Duluth while one will transfer to Edwards Air Force Base in California, replacing older F-16A versions.
At Spangdahlem the 22nd and 23rd Fighter Squadrons will merge into a single, slightly larger squadron – both will be inactivated and a new squadron formed
