Dutch F-16 of the Solo Display Team 2014/2015 Registration: J-142. The F-16 Demo Team, also known as F-16 Solo Display Team, was a demonstration team of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The team represented the Royal Air Force during (inter)national demonstrations since 1979. The team went to various events at home and abroad each summer season to give flight shows with the F-16 fighter aircraft. Due to operational pursuits, the team did not fly in 2015. In subsequent years, it proved difficult, if not impossible, to find sufficiently qualified personnel and no longer participated in air shows. In 2018, it was therefore decided to stop completely from January 2019.
