Belgian Air Force F-16 Display Teaser Video
The BAF Facebook page has posted a teaser video for Senior captain Stephan ''Vador" Darte upcoming season. Including SIM work up
https://www.facebook.com/BelAirForce/vi ... 512522478/
Wonder if the Black and gold at the start of the video is a hint of the scheme. Vador posted the jet went into the spray shop last week. Was reported to be 1st Sqn ( whos squadron colours are Black &gold) pilot. He appears to be wearing an OCU patch

Bet he will use the "Dark side of the Force"
Re: Belgian Air Force F-16 Display Teaser Video
I was lucky enough to have been invited to the TWM by Stephan. He really is a genuinely nice guy and was very hospitable. He's as excited as anyone about the next 3 years and the scheme for the aircraft that he designed himself..

Good evening everyone,
This is my first post as Demo pilot. First of all: thank you very much Gizmo to hand me over such an amazing Facebook page with over 12K followers and aviation fanatics!
I will use this page to share my experiences during the season, re-post the best pictures you send me and I hope to be able to provide you with an inside in the life of the demo team during the season. This page will be the tool I will use to keep you updated on the schedule of the season and all relevant in formations about the team. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need information on the team or which to find different content.
So where are we at this moment?
I started my initial training a few weeks ago. It all started by designing my routine and practicing it in the flight sim. My routine has been validated and I've been flying it a couple of time with a minimum altitude of 5.000 feet. As from next week , if the Belgian weather allows I will be granted to lower the training altitude to progressively descent to 500 feet, the Airshow minima.
In parallel I've been assigned the tail number FA101 as Demo Jet. The new design is awesome and will be very impressive. We decided to give the name of "Dark Falcon" to this new bird because of its paint scheme, my call sign and the fact that we are reaching 40 years of Fighting Falcon in the Belgian Air Force, quite a milestone to celebrate!
To conclude, this page is for you! Any suggestions are welcome, let's make it an interactive page centered on the F16 Solo Display where pictures , informations , thoughts will be shared amongst us: aviation lovers.
For those who follow me on Instagram I will continue to post the airborne pictures I take and of course part of those will be in relation to the SoloDisplay https://www.instagram.com/vador_pictures/
Enjoy your week-end and stay tuned for more shortly!

And there’s the Belgian Air Force with a beauty like that and the RAF on it’s 100 birthday celebrate with a small naff red sticker
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...
Re: Belgian Air Force F-16 Display Teaser Video
The Dark Falcon website is on the air now: www.f16darkfalcon.com
Expect more updates to the site in the coming weeks plus some further announcements.
You'll notice a change in the display schedule already for June - the 100 years Finnish AF booking has been replaced by Evreux on June 16/17th.
Merch should be available soon too.
Keep an eye on the July editions of most major magazines (Combat Aircraft etc.) for more in-depth features on the team and some stunning air-to-air photos.
