No F-16 Demo Team demonstrations in 2016
For 2016 once again it has been decided that the Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 Demo Team will not be giving demonstrations at airshows home and abroad.
Because of the participation in the international fight against ISIS, operational obligations such as the Quick Reaction Alert, the required training program of the F-16 pilots and therefore the use of all necessary F-16's, the Royal Netherlands Air Force has decided not to deploy the Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 Demo Team for the 2016 display season.
Future
The ending of the participation of the Dutch F-16's for the Mission against ISIS this year, will initiate a period of recovery to fully train the pilots within their operational training programs.
Also beginning 2017 a F-16 unit will be deployed for the NATO Baltic Air Policing Mission. We expect some possibilities again in 2017 for the Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 Demo Team to participate at airshows home and abroad.
Air Task Force Middle East
The Netherlands operates since October 2014 an F-16 detachment consisting out of approximately 200 soldiers available for the international fight against ISIS.
The commitment of the Dutch F-16 takes place only above Iraq. This involves both air support to ground troops and air strikes on pre-selected targets.
