The F 16 demoteam announced today that they will be the displayteam for 2009 also. Normally a team will do this job for two years, but they were asked for a third year.

Ook hier geldt, plannen echter nog niet officieel bevestigd!
The J-055 will probably be replaced by the J-015 in a new special color scheme, but nothing is sure yet.

In an interview I read a lot of years ago with the then demopilot Spout, he said it was forbidden by the RNLAF to have the demoplane in a colourscheme that relates to a specific squadron. Although there was a tiger in the tail of J-055 the last two years, and J-063 has been used as the spare a few years ago having 322 jubilee colours.

Are they using the Orange Jumper?????
Wild guess: dutch lion? Well, as this once was related to 315 squadron during the Twenthe days, and given the rivalty then between 315 and 313, I think I'm wrong.

If I am correct a lot of 315 personel transferred to 313 sqn after the disbandement of 315 sqn. Don't know how many former 315 sqn members are still working at 313 sqn, but you never know and maybe it will become a lion.
It even may be sponsored by ING..
