For two seasons, E-006 &mdash; the &ldquo;Dannebrog&rdquo; jet &mdash; has been the star of Europe&rsquo;s air-show summer. Now Denmark has handed it over for a one-way journey to the far side of the world.<\/p><p>The Royal Danish Air Force has withdrawn its most photographed aircraft for transfer to Argentina, part of a remarkable second act for a fleet Denmark no longer wants. As Copenhagen re-equips with the stealthy <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-35-lightning-ii\">F-35A<\/a>, its battle-proven F-16s are being scattered across two continents: 19 donated to Ukraine, 24 sold to Argentina &mdash; and, in a final twist, the cash from the Argentine deal flowing onward to Kyiv.<\/p><p>For E-006, the price of a new life is its identity. Before it reaches South America, the flying flag will be painted over in anonymous grey.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border:1px solid #d6e0ff;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 22px;margin:22px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;color:#1a1a1a;font-size:15px;letter-spacing:.3px\">QUICK FACTS<\/p><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:15px;line-height:1.5\"><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">The jet<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">F-16AM E-006, the red-and-white &ldquo;Dannebrog&rdquo; display aircraft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Livery since<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">2024 \u2014 the colours of Denmark&rsquo;s national flag<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">New owner<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">Argentine Air Force (to be repainted grey before delivery)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Argentina total<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">24 ex-Danish F-16A\/B; first six arrived December 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Ukraine link<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">19 Danish F-16s donated; proceeds of the Argentine sale also going to Kyiv<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Why Denmark is selling<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">It is replacing its F-16 fleet with the F-35A<\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A flag with wings<\/h2><p>E-006 took on its red-and-white scheme in 2024, becoming the second aircraft to carry the &ldquo;Dannebrog&rdquo; name as the Danish solo-display jet. With the national banner streaked along its fuselage and a fierce motif on the tail, it was designed to do one thing: make people look up. It worked. From Fairford to Kleine Brogel, the little Falcon in flag colours drew some of the biggest crowds of any single-ship display in Europe.<\/p><p>It also marked a milestone. The F-16 first flew back in 1974, and Denmark has operated the type for more than four decades &mdash; long enough for the Dannebrog jet to double as a farewell to an aircraft that defined the Danish air force for a generation. That farewell is now arriving in earnest.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=244562806  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/argentina-first-f16.jpg\" alt=\"Argentine Air Force F-16\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">An Argentine Air Force F-16 on display. Buenos Aires is buying 24 ex-Danish jets. Photo: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Argentina returns to supersonic flight<\/h2><p>For Argentina, the deal is historic. The country lost its supersonic capability when it retired the last of its Mirages in 2015, and spent years unable to replace them &mdash; in part because British-made components in several candidate fighters were blocked, a lingering shadow of the 1982 Falklands War. The American-built, Danish-flown F-16 finally broke the deadlock.<\/p><p>The first six aircraft touched down at R&iacute;o Cuarto in December 2025, met by President Javier Milei, with a formation flypast over Buenos Aires alongside a US Air Force KC-135 tanker. In all, 24 single- and twin-seat F-16s will make the journey, ferried south in batches, with the full fleet due by around 2028. After decades grounded below the speed of sound, Argentina is supersonic again.<\/p><h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Ukraine connection<\/h2><p>The other half of Denmark&rsquo;s fleet went east. Copenhagen donated 19 F-16s to Ukraine &mdash; the original Dannebrog display jet among them &mdash; to help Kyiv rebuild an air force under daily attack. And in a move that closed the circle, Denmark announced it would pass the revenue from the Argentine sale to Ukraine as well.<\/p><p>It is a neat illustration of how a single retiring fleet can serve two very different ends: restoring a Latin American air force&rsquo;s pride on one continent, and helping a European nation fight for survival on another.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=2009917349  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/ukrainian-f16am.jpg\" alt=\"Ukrainian Air Force F-16AM taking off\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A Ukrainian Air Force F-16AM &mdash; the same type Denmark is sending to Kyiv and Buenos Aires.
