Negative on this one, in my knowledge I believe Belgium never used a F-16B in an operational mission...
And even more they never lost a F16 in combat, well the closest thing is a Dutch F16 that got shot at :p
Really great site if you want to have a great laugh

:D

Fake !....
I remember from that time the intensive propaganda war.
All sides gave lots of false information.
Your link is an indirect link to Serb-fabricated dispatches.
Here is another one

Who knows.....?

After the war, the alliance reported the loss of three helicopters, 32 unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and five aircraft — all of them American, including the first US stealth plane (a F-117 stealth fighter) ever shot down by enemy fire.
A second F-117A was also heavily damaged, and although it made it back to its base, it never flew again.
