The Belgian Air Force F-16 Viper display might be THE best fast jet display I think I've ever seen. He does things with the jet that I've never seen done before. From start to finish it's absolute poetry. And that's before we even discuss that absolutely stunning paint scheme.
Captain Steven “Vrieske” De Vries has more than 5,000 hours on the F-16, and boy-oh-boy does it show. Check out the landing at the end. Bearing in mind there was a 20 mph crosswind component, winds gusting to 40+ mph and pouring rain.
If you've not read it you should check out F-16 Solo Display website, especially the section on Captain De Vries - f16solodisplay.be/pilot

@nickjenkins236 Год назад

Captain De Vries is clearly a pilot who has completely mastered the control of the F-16 in all three axes which means he performs manoeuvres that I've never seen other pilots usually only working in two axes perform... and all in a non-thrust vectored aircraft. After last year & this, I have no idea how he hasn't won an award for his airmanship at RIAT yet.

@UKAviationMovies Год назад

I agree! I think the French Rafale won this year but Vrieske is on another level for me. The whole package is top class.

Thanks a lot man. We had the US Viper Demo here at RIAT in England in 2019. It was a pretty cool display, but the pilot, Maj. Garret Schmitz, suffered damage to the horizontal stabiliser after puling some crazy mad g's during the opening part of his display. I've not seen a US F-16 display since then unfortunately.

@ImpendingJoker 11 месяцев назад

Maybe I'm jaded and have watched too many F-16s in real life but after reading the comments I went back and rewatched the video, and I really do not see this pilot do anything all that special. The F-16s fly by wire system and it's small size make it very capable of everything shown here. Now you can argue that it's the pilot and that he's born with it but, have you ever thought for once that maybe...it's Maybeline?

Great display, I was there on Sunday but didn’t see it, was a poor flying line up with far too long between displays, Gripen and Typhoon displayed many times by 3pm along with some other helicopters, pretty poor actually, then the heavens opened at 3:30 and everybody started leaving. The Typhoon display was ok, but very predictable, loads of max rate rolls, derry turns, same year after year. Then you get this F16 which does something a bit different, RAF….taken note!

@UKAviationMovies 11 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed it this year personally, I thought it was a cracking show. A Spanish Harrier in the flying display was pretty special. Not the mention the Rafale, Finnish F-18, Dream Viper, German Tonkas, Italian Typhoon, Gripen E and the B-52. The weather was a shocker but I'm am amazed they managed to fly so many of the aircraft given the wind and rain over the weekend 😂

@iain8837 11 месяцев назад

@@UKAviationMovies Fair enough. But what exactly did the German Tonkas do? Took off, buggered off for 20 mins, done a fly past with a tanker, then landed. That was special? I remember at Leuchars watching 4x GR1 beating up the airfield at 550kts,, 100ft for 15 mins why being chased by F3’s, with explosions and SAMs going off, that was special.

@michaelkaliski7651 11 месяцев назад

Moved the plane about in the sky and pulled a lot of negative g’s but plenty of over controlling and corrections going on too. A good display but the pilot seems unable to exactly nail the 90º angles and crispness I have come to expect from military display pilots.

@UKAviationMovies 11 месяцев назад

🧐 can you point to where you’re talking about in the vid? All I saw was awesomeness 🧐

@michaelkaliski7651 11 месяцев назад

@@UKAviationMoviesThere are several points where the pilot turns into a roll, stops just past 90º and corrects back 5 or 10º. Also some nose drops and rises to get back on speed and/or trajectory in the vertical manoeuvres. Now this could be just how the pilot flies, weather related, or making sure everything is exactly on the numbers before commencing the next sequence. No one can claim that the pilot does not have serious flying skills, I am merely pointing out that if I were judging their flying as part of a competition, they would lose points for a lack of crispness in parts of the display routine. As others have pointed out, it is rare to see an F16 flown to its’ limits in this way and perhaps I am judging too harshly, but I don’t think so.
