I think not many see this demo live. But for all of you a nice clip. If I look good i think this was taken at Fairford (UK) last year. Enjoy the show.

I thought it was the Belgian F-16 demo I saw last year, but maybe it was the Dutch. Very impressive maneuvers out of the F-16, that is for sure.

Dutchy, did the Dutch demo team incorporate some kind of smoke generator into the wing tips? I know you can typically see vapor trails off the F-16’s wing tips but through out the video it seems as though they start and stop around show center.

They use the whole show \"smokewinders\" at the tip of the wings. So that you the public can see better what he is doing in his tricks. The demo won several prices last years.
You can find more of the plane and its show here.

Dutchy, that's what I thought, It would make the show a lot more impressive than say a smoke generator coming out of the exhaust. Hey Thunderbids (HINT HINT)

Our PC-7 demoteam used it also. http://www.pc7solodisplay.nl/main_eng.html
Almost every Dutch demoteam in the past used smoke in their shows.
F-27, NF-5 (single and double team).

Watch some European demoteams like Red Arrows, Frecce Tricolore and Patrouille de France. They all use color smoke. Thunderbirds have to learn from them
