June 12, 2010 - France is a very popular holiday destination for many Belgians. But besides that the way south is also very well known by the Belgian F-16 Solo Display Team. This year the first French airshow the team visited was organised at Albert-Picardie airport, not very far from the Belgian-French border.

The Albert-Picardie airshow is always a mix of old-timers and newer jet aircraft. But besides this, the organisation also has some interest in commercial aviation. The highlight this year in the form of the Airbus A300-600ST 'Beluga'.

June 6, 2010 - The very first airshow of the 2010 season was kicked off at Skrydstrup in Denmark. Denmark was a new location for the team. The new demo aircraft had a lot of interesting views towards it on arrival.

The team enjoyed the incredible weather. Always a nice way to start of a new season with a modified bird, nice weather and a lot of people to attend the show.

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.
