General Dynamics / Lockheed Martin F-16 Viper

Really enjoyed the Danish AF F-16 demo this summer.

That is such a great paint scheme, so simple, yet so effective. Really good play with the lines of the scheme and those of the jet itself. Too bad it went tech and we ended up with the regular scheme at Panicle this year. Still a great show though.

Such a special memory for me as 2016 was my first air tattoo. Excluding covid years i have never missed sinse.
I love the air tattoo.
Was team zeus not stickered up in 16, Roger? Or was this the spare

Darren

Will have to look, this could be a spare or the stickered up one was in 2015? Or my archive is messed up…

2016 was my first tattoo. I seem to remember zeus being stickered up. I could be wrong though. :thinking::joy:

Here’s the stickered up Zeus at RIAT in 2016. I remember this guy dumping a bunch of flares, way too low over active jets, at Kleine Brogel during a rehearsal session… classic.

I wonder if the spare jet was used on the friday or sunday, Roger. I knew it was stickered up on the saturday. As i said, great memories as it was my first air tattoo. :+1:

Great photo btw
