The show for the 2010 season is completely new. The show demonstrates the limits of the F-16 and of the pilot flying it. The figures the pilot flies with the F-16 are standard figures which every F-16 pilot within the Belgian Air Component masters. The difficulty concerning this show is to perform all those figures in a fluent composition as well as low altitudes of around 500 ft (150m).
Two routines are flown. One for the nice summer days (which lasts 11.5 minutes and contains 18 figures) and a somewhat reduced version for the typical European summer days (which lasts about 2 minutes less and contains 1 figure less, accompanied by some adapted routines for low cloud cover).
