Nope, absolutely nothing on that evidence that we have never seen before in a Dutch F-16 display
Not that I'm complaining as in general, they've always been very very good!

+1
nothing is confirmed at a show until its u/c hits the tarmac or it is running in for its display.....

Well, the take off with flares is new and no Orange F16 anymore. The Orange Lion will be painted grey again, pity!

Really? Someone posted the news on here recently that they are keeping the Orange Lion again this season?

Not true. The Orange J-015 left Volkel Airbase yesterday to Portugal and will be painted grey in a few weeks :sad:

Although you are right about J-015's fate, a training flight pre-season (which is what you post) doesn't say a single bit about which aircraft will be flown during the shows. Fortunately we get rid of the lion, as I was getting bored (maybe even more than J-016's in its final year) with that colours. Seen it too many times. (IMO J-055 could have been used a bit longer though)Afterburnpower wrote:no Orange F16 anymore.

Liking the climb out on the B-axis after the touch and go, immediately followed by the looping at crowdcenter. It brings back memories of the Tomba's displays in the early 2000s, still one of my all-time favourite F-16 displays. Hopefully a different routine from 2013 which I thought was too fast resulting in a display that consisted mainly of repositioning.

We did like Stefan "Stich" Hutten a lot, but one of the best was Ralph "Sheik" Aarts amazing show

That's correct, it was. Stitch would break away from the Apache after their flyby together, go into a 360 degree turn, before climbing out, rolling inverted and popping flares. I think the Dutch display pilots have to fly the same display as the previous display pilot their first year, and then in their second year they get to put together a display on their own.
