The Belgian Air Component's F-16AM Fighting Falcon is dubbed 'Viper' by their pilots on account of the aircraft's extreme agility. The iconic solo display aircraft is being flown by Senior Captain Steven ' Vrieske' De Vries for the 2022-24 display seasons. On Steven's first ever display season with his 'Dream Viper', he was awarded the Bill Hortree Trophy for the most entertaining flying display at the RAF Cosford airshow June last year, and then the Dream Viper aircraft received the Friends of RIAT's 'Best Livery Trophy' at RIAT 2022.
Steven began his career on the F-16 at the age of 21 and is the first F-16 pilot outside the United States to have surpassed 5,000 flying hours on the type. -credits RIAT2023 info page.
