Croatia - Hrvatsko Ratno Zrakoplovstvo Rumor has it that Croatia is looking to replace its MiG-21bis force with a modern fighter, preferably the F-16. In the late nineties a couple of Aviano based USAF F-16C's performed a series of demonstration flights in Croatia to back a possible sale of F-16s to that country. Since, no further news has been released about the subject. http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article27.html
