Except that it was self-confirmed only until a few days ago. Paperwork has to be sorted out before an act is confirmed and published.

UPDATE – Austrian Air Force

The Austrian Air Force is sending its Saab J105 jet trainer to the Belgian Air force Days. The display routine will show the agility of the Saab manufactured aircraft wonderfully, as well as the beautiful ‘Tiger’ scheme it’s wearing. The Austrian Air Force uses the Saab J105 not only as an advanced jet trainer but also as a four-seat VIP transport, for air sampling duties and for some air defense duties.

The Saab J105 comes from the Hörsching airbase near Linz. Tiger Tiger Tiger!

PRESS RELEASE

Unique International Airshow
From September 12th to 14th 2014 the Belgian Air Component together with the International Sanicole Airshow team, will be organising the Belgian Air Force Days at the Kleine-Brogel Air Base (BE).

It is the first time since 1998 that an airshow takes place at this airbase. The joint venture of the Kleine-Brogel Air Base with the International Sanicole Airshow guarantees a major international event with a varied program that contains the best military and civilian pilots from over 20 countries.

"More than 100 years of Military Aviation" and "40 years of F-16": these are the two inspiring themes that will transform the Belgian Air Force Days into a very special and memorable aviation event.

"Historic demonstrations and exhibits will be combined with operational flight demonstrations, while aerobatic teams and solo pilots will entertain the audience with their spectacular flying performances," says Colonel Paul Desair - Commander Kleine-Brogel Air Base.

Icons from 100 years of military aviation
With the Blériot XI and Fokker D VII, the Belgian Air Force Days take the crowd back to the early days of military aviation. Iconic planes like the Spitfire refer to World War II. The Hawker Fury, which was just restored in Belgium, was actively used in the Korean War while the T-33 heralds the jet fighter era. The F-16, which made its maiden flight 40 years ago and which since then became one of the most successful fighters ever built, cannot be missed. Aircrafts such as the AH-64 Apache, the Dassault Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon represent the latest generation. Together with many other aircrafts, an interesting historical overview of aviation will be presented in the air and on the ground.

Except historically relevant, the program of the Belgian Air Force Days also is very divers. Various aspects of aviation are featured. In a very dynamic and entertaining way the Belgian Air Force days will bring a mixture of combat-, transport-, acrobatic and passenger planes as well as search and reconnaissance and tactical helicopters. These solo displays alternate with the stunts of various aerobatic teams. A few special formations will mark the Belgian Air Force Days.

Spectacular acrobatic teams
With the Patrouille de France, Frecce Tricolori and Red Arrows, who celebrate their 50th anniversary, the Belgian Air Force Days present the most renowned European military jet teams. The Al Fursan display team, from the United Arab Emirates, will be performing for the first time in Belgium.

After a very successful tour across Asia, it nice to see the Breitling Jet Team, the largest civil jet patrol in the world, performing again in Western-Europe. With the Royal Jordanian Falcons, the PC-7 TEAM from Switzerland and the Red Devils and the Victors from Belgium, the crowd is in for a fine treat of formation flying.

Joint Power Demo
On Friday, September 12th the Kleine-Brogel Air Base is accessible for the spotters. The icing on the cake will be a Joint Power Demo, a demonstration that shows how the resources in the air and on the ground are combined during operations, on all three days.

Early Bird and exclusive flights
The gates of the airbase will always open at 09:00 AM, further information about the program, car parks, etc. can be found at www.belgianairforcedays.be.

Wait, what..? Will all these F-16's fly? Or is this static/flying mixed up.

It indeed looks like a "mix-up", even though the Belgian, Dutch, Greek and Turkish F-16s are apparently all four to fly according to
http://www.belgianairforcedays.be/index ... Itemid=225

Yes, the Canadian F-18 Hornet is also still listed on that page...
