Belgian Air Force's Airshow Commitments Winding Down

[n33d4sp33d_85]

Disbanding the A109 Display Team is the first stage of a substantial winding down of the Belgian Air Force’s airshow commitments. Although the Belgian Air Force has been a stable and reliable contributor to European airshows for many years, This is Flight understands that the withdrawal of A109 solo displays will be followed next year by the end of their highly-acclaimed F-16AM Fighting Falcon solo display, which will perform a farewell season in 2024 ahead of the F-16’s retirement from Belgian service. This will also bring about the end of their unofficial four-ship F-16 display team, the Thunder Tigers. It is also expected that Belgium’s official national aerobatic team, the Red Devils, could be disbanded as soon as next year, as their SF.260s are due to be replaced.
