Netherlands f-16 solo display

Found this on the website
We have sad news. The Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 Demo Team will not be performing any shows in 2015.

Last week the decision has been made for the F-16 Demo Team not to perform in 2015. The reason for this is the Royal Netherlands Air Force's participation in missions over Irak together with other operational commitments. Next to this, the Dutch pilots need the planes to train for their missions. The current scale of our operations has made it necessary to postpone the the demo season to 2016. Slick will be behind the stick once again and he and his team are proud to represent the Royal Netherlands Air Force in 2016 with a spectacular new show!

During this year we will entertain you with photo's and video's where we have them available. Hope to see you al next year where we will start our training in Gila Bent near Phoenix, Arizona
The TEAM

Sad, but understandable. Operational commitments should always take priority.
