B-Flight & Operational Conversion Unit

“SEMPER VULTURE”
always the vulture

Originally new F-16 pilots were trained on the F-16B two-seaters used by the "Operational Conversion Flight F16".

On 25-Nov-1983 this unit was renamed in "B-Flight".

When the 1st Fighter Wing was disbanded in March 1996 the O.C.U., founded there on 1-Sep 1987, became part of the 10th Wing.

This was the end of the B-Flight.

The new O.C.U. squadron inherited the crest (a vulture on an arrow) and traditions of the previous Fighter School of Koksijde, a unit that was disbanded in 1958.
