Only the former Portugese F-16’s seem to have this nice camouflage. The first ex Norwegian F-16’s are grey.

The Romanian F-16s were ex-Portuguese examples, now being joined by ex-Norwegians too.

I don't mind admitting I am definitely excited about this one !!!! This has to rank for me personally as the Number 1 Highlight so far, amongst some great announcements. With more to come, this year is shaping up to be pretty tasty.

At upcoming events such as the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) and the Farnborough International Airshow, aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals will have the opportunity to witness these capabilities firsthand. The F-15QA’s participation in these prestigious airshows is expected to be a highlight, showcasing not only its technological advancements but also the skill and precision of its pilots. The aircraft’s ability to perform complex manoeuvres at high angles of attack, coupled with its impressive thrust-to-weight ratio, will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on all in attendance.
Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread
Which country are the pilots from?

50th Anniversary of the Qatar Emiri Air Force : the article infers other QEAF aircraft will participate
'To commemorate this milestone, a number of Qatari aircraft will be on static display. A flying display by Qatar’s F-15QA Advanced Eagle would be a fitting tribute to this significant anniversary, adding to the excitement and grandeur of the event'

Hope that means more than a Hawk from Leeming, although welcome if 'potable'!
