〔記者羅添斌/台北報導〕我國首批兩架 F-16 Block 70(BLK70)新世代戰機,在昨日(2日)平安飛抵台東志航基地。為了高規格迎接這兩位期待已久的「貴客」,空軍特別展開大動作,派出多架現役主力軍機升空伴飛與管制。新舊戰機在防空識別區(ADIZ)會合,並組成震撼力十足的大雁編隊一同返航,編隊畫面隨後曝光,讓引頸期盼的軍事迷與國人直呼「真的太帥了!」
這次的空中迎親陣容可以說是誠意滿滿。空軍首先派出2架現役F-16戰機率先升空,一路飛到防空識別區接應新機,貼身伴飛保護。與此同時,國產的2架 AJT 勇鷹高教機也加入行列,並由F-16紀錄美台飛行員並肩飛行的珍貴特寫。為了確保任務萬無一失,空防幕後功臣 E-2K 空中預警機更同步在更高、更遠的空域警戒,實施嚴密的區域空域管制,默默張開防護傘,防止新機在最後航程受到任何外部干擾。

值得一提的是,這趟跨越1萬3000多公里的太平洋飛渡任務,破天荒採用了「台美飛官攜手領航」的模式。帶頭的長機(編號6727)由美國洛克希德·馬丁公司的專業飛行員駕駛,而擔任僚機的(編號6728),則是由我國駐美換裝訓練的中校飛官親自操縱。當戰機順利降落、緩緩滑進機庫時,眼尖的現場工作人員隨即發現,我國飛官駕駛的座艙儀表板上方,竟然精心鋪著一面青天白日滿地紅國旗,這個熱血的彩蛋瞬間引爆全場熱情。
除了座艙內的驚喜,這次新機返台也打破了過去的低調作風。回顧29年前我國接收首批 F-16 A/B 戰機時,美方曾要求必須用貼紙把機身上的國徽暫時遮蓋。但這次完全不同,美方工作人員在關島起飛前,就已經貼心地把遮蓋貼紙全部撕除。因此,當兩架全新的 F-16 Block 70 輪胎接觸志航基地跑道的那一刻,垂直尾翼與機翼上的「青天白日」低視度國徽,在陽光下毫無保留地閃耀著,象徵台美軍事合作的互信再升級。
