Meet the Thunder Tigers: four operational F-16 pilots of 31 “Tiger” Squadron, based in Kleine-Brogel.
Led by “TOBI”, they will show you their all during the Belgian Air Force Days.

During a ten minute demo, consisting of different formation, passes, breaks and high-G manoeuvres, they will show the public the true capabilities of the “Mighty Viper”.
For the last time ever, they will perform their demo using their beloved “X-Tiger”, a jet which received a special paint in honour of the NATO Tiger Meet.

Interesting to know, these pilots are operational pilots, training day-to-day to acquire and maintain different currencies and qualifications in order to be ready when our Belgian F-16s deploy abroad.
They aren’t full-time demonstration pilots, but for the Belgian Air Force Days they will gladly make an exception!

A chunk of nostalgia completes the programme of the Belgian Air Force Days 2023! We all know the current team of the Red Devils on Marchetti SF260, but the heyday of the Belgian Air Force's demonstration team was probably back in the days of the Fouga Magister. The Red Devils would perform all over Western Europe with their bright red Fougas to thrill the crowds.

During the Belgian Air Force Days, the French Patrouille Tranchant will bring this period back to life with five colourful Fougas that will put on a dynamic show in close formation. The colours of these Fougas, combined with the striking appearance of this aircraft with its characteristic beautiful butterfly tail, are sure to catch your attention. The experienced pilots, one of whom even flew with the Patrouille de France on Fouga Magister, will dazzle you with countless loopings and rolls in precise formation. The graceful moves are also accentuated with colourful smoke in the colours of Groupe Tranchant, a company that operates casinos in France and Switzerland. The team was founded in 2004 and is based in Rennes in western France by current team leader Hugues Duval.

Please note that this wonderful team will only fly on Saturday 9 September, but of course there is so much more to experience during the Belgian Air Force Days on 9 & 10 September at Kleine-Brogel. Join the new generation!

What a blast... even with super hot and dry air lots of vapor cones

After a five-year absence the Belgian Air Force hosted its own military airshow, Belgian Air Force Days, at Kleine Brogel. At the heart of the show were exhibitions and displays highlighting the work of the Air Force and the opportunities it offers young people. However, the show also included support from a variety of partner nations and civilian participants to inspire the next generation into engineering and aerospace. A full image gallery and review can be found HERE.
