Hello! Do you have info when the F-16 leave for Romania? Thanks!

[ehusmann]

No, unfortunately not. I have seen pictures of one already test flying in full colours early this year (March), but don't know when they will be delivered.

Oops, you are right! Seems to be from last year....

Not a bad show yesterday, with no less than 26 Portuguese F-16s (and a bunch of Belgians). This also included 3 Portugues already in Romanian AF colourscheme (15123, 15124 and 15126) of which one flew as well.
The flying consisted of a two ship demo and a 12 ship flypast (including 4 Belgians).
The closed hangars were not accessible, but the doors were opened just so a peek could be taken inside.
