July 21, 2010 - A yearly tradition is the military parade on the Belgian National day. Together with this event the squadrons of the Belgian Air Component organise a family day to have family and friends joining in on the every day life of the pilots and all other crew members. This year was no exception to that tradition.

Mitch first flew to Florennes AB to make an appearance for the family and friends of 1squadron and 350 squadron. He then returned to Kleine Brogel AB to perform for the people of 31 sqn and 349 sqn.

July 19, 2010 - During the Royal International Air Tattoo held at RAF Fairford between July 15th and July 19th, Mitch won the Lockheed Martin Cannestra Trophy. This trophy is awarded for the best overseas flying display. Mitch and the entire Solo Display Team are very proud to have won this trophy at such a prestigious event as the RIAT.

This trophy is an acknowledgement of the dedication and hard work the entire team performs during the airshow season.

April 27, 2010 - Yesterday, Mitch has left for Corsica to add some more hours to the training syllabus. From Solenzara AB, he will be training together with the French Rafale demo team. Corsica offers practically unrestricted airspace for such flights as a very good chance on fair weather. Thus, training can be optimised in optimal conditions.

Mitch is preparing the final sets of manouvers to complete the 2010 show display. More info on the final display sequence will be posted in May.

April 26, 2010 - Before leaving to Corsica for another training cycle, Mitch took the time to get some aerial photography done of his new bird for the 2010 season. The Belgian Air Component's photographer - Eddy "Bink" Kellens - strapped himself in the back-seat of another F-16BM and took these amazing images. The dual seater was piloted by Capt. Ken "Joyce" De Trogh, which is also Mitch's coach for the coming season.

A collection of this aerial photo session can be seen in the 2010 gallery.

April 16, 2010 - Today the photoshoot of the 2010 Demoteam took place at Kleine Brogel AB. Three new members join the team for the 2010 display season: Erwin Neyskens, Stefaan Abeels and Jean-Pierre Meyens. The team is strenghtened by these new members to cope with the slighter higher display sequence in 2010 which sees the demoteam perform during 23 events in 10 different countries over a 4-month time period.
