Any update on the F16's. On FB a regular Mach looper suggests tomorrow is going to be interesting. Question is aren't they on Independence Day shut down?

Elsewhere on here there's speculation on BAF F-16s doing low level work from Marham. Maybe that's what's it's a reference to?

Yes Thunderbolt you're correct ,it's apparently a Belgian F16 that may be doing the loop.
