SO not fair. That F16 in 5 and 6 was supposed to be @ Nellis in Las Vegas last year; but didn't come because of mechanical issues. I wantes to shoot it SO badly!
Nice pictures!

The Dutch demo F16 was never planned to go to the USA last year (Dutch Air Force has a couple of F-16 stationed in the USA. They decided to use one of those because it is to expensive to fly an F-16 for one show to the USA. It would also interfere with European airshow schedule) , the Belgian demo F16 did not exist at that time, they used another F-16 las year in a different (boring) colorscheme.

I wish the USAF would let Viper East/West come up with show schemes of their own.

Granted, they're so clean you could eat off them but the normal low-viz tactical scheme is, well, boring as hell. Smokewinders would be a great touch as well.

IMO, our F-16 demos are too much balls and not enough WOW! The "drop the anchor" transition to low-speed flight is about the only gee whiz moment of the entire demo. Whatever happened to the Double Immelman within 1500' of altitude? Now that was a maneuver with some WOW factor to it.

I wanna see that Viper TURN!!!
