From the moment the F-16 came in to service with the Belgian Air Force back in 1979, the aircraft was shown to the public through an aerial display. During these displays the pilots perform the F-16 to its limits and show the general public the aircraft's capacities. Additionally the demo team represents the Belgian Armed Forces and the Belgian Air Force (now Belgian Air Component) in particularly to the public, both domestic as abroad.
Below is an overview of all pilots who had the honour of flying the F-16 in a solo display throughout the years. A yearly overview can be seen here.
