Plus the remaining Thunderbirds F-16CMs, which remain
unidentified.
During the opening of the show by the parachute team the
Golden Knights and the national anthem, three aircraft made
a flightpass, T-38 68-8177/TY, QF-16C 86-0233/QF-007 and
F-22A 00-4016/TY.
The heritage flight was made by the demo F-22 01-4026/TY
and the P-51 NL20TF. During the sunny day suddenly some
rainclouds formed and because of the upcoming heavy rain
the visitors were asked to move to some shelters. Even the
airshow was stopped for 45 minutes due to this heavy rainfall.
When the show resumed the USAF Thunderbirds did their
ground show and the aircraft started up. When they reached
the runway Thunderbird #1 did take off and made a weather
check. It came back with some bad news, due to new upcom-
ing bad weather they cancelled their airshow and taxied back
to the ramp.
Overall a really nice airshow with lots of interesting aircraft
on the ground and in the air. Also the airbase wasn’t crowded
at all, so plenty of room to watch or photograph the aircraft.
