Possibly not, but I asked the Ministry of Defence not long ago, waiting for the answer.

Not based on hard facts -or insider sources,
but considering that no RNLAF Open Days are planned for 2018
chances are likely
there will again be no Dutch F-16 demo display.

Not sure what the implications are now that again a Dutch F-16 detachment
is based in Jordan this year? :| :?

This must be draining resources, possiby also affecting any "F-16 demo display" for 2018,
if there is to be one at all...

If you see what they need......

Het team bestaat uit de volgende leden:
◾Een piloot
◾Twee coaches
◾Twee technische specialisten
◾Vier grondpersoneel (crewchiefs)
◾Een technisch assistent
◾Drie adviseurs

That's apart from materials......

Two years ago the Team posted on its official website - we will be back in the future with a big surprise -. I think they referred to the F-35. Probably we will no longer see the Team fly the F-16.

From the RNLAF's Head Bureau Air Display:
een F16 Demo zit er niet in en de vraag is hoe dat in de toekomst zal gaan.

So, no F-16 display this year, and still questionable for future years, but comparing with answers from former years, it is not looking too good.

juist wel, scheelt veel lawaai bij het trainen op de diverse velden en vergt geen vlieguren en kosten voor zaken waarvoor die dingen niet zijn aangeschaft ..............
