ZIGAIRMEET SWITZERLAND 23 - BELGIAN'S DREAM VIPER - 4K

Belgian's F-16 Dream Viper piloted by captain Steven De Vries known as "Vrieske".
Arguably the best F-16 pilot yet?, I'm interested in your opinions in the comments.
I'm in Mollis in Switzerland for Zig Air Meet 2023 with some great line ups. I should have a few additional videos over the next few days including France's Rafale, Switzerland's F-18 Hornet display and Germany's Typhoon Eurofighter.
Enjoy Vrieske"s Solo display in the mountains

Unbelievable backdrop and excellent camera work! Well done Mr. Phillips!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Many thanks John, it’s a stunning country 🇨🇭👍

[@lancecashler5547]

Magnificent display of piloting and aircraft, awesome!

[@scottgorman7166]

Boy another talented pilot strapped into a performance aircraft and you get a tremendous aerial ballet. It is such a thrill watching these pilots carve the sky. Once again I have to thank you Dayfdd for another joyful ride along......👌

[@tonyroberts7481]

Those scenic mountains make a perfect contrast with the sky and the maneuvers. Great camera work!!!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Many thanks Tony.

[@marcperrenoud5396]

Probably the best F-16 demo I have ever seen, in a extraordinary beautiful and difficult environment ... respect!

[@ianrawlings2546]

Speechless. Gave me goosebumps. That green tiger stripe on the underside is brilliant. Thank you for the amazing film work.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Ian.

[@fredtedstedman]

airshow against mountain backdrop is something else ! Thanks for sharing this Daf .😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🎥🎥

[@carolfortin1457]

Magnificently well captured throughout this Belgian master and the most sublime place in the world to see jets evolve. Good job! Thanks for sharing.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Many thanks!

[@pierrejuillet4]

The most beautiful demonstration in an air meeting ever.

[@lindaj5492]

He just didn’t want to finish, did he! Great filming, thanks 😊

[@idleeric8556]

Excellent video. I especially enjoyed the part where the supersonic jet-fighter was flying upside down towards the rapidly approaching side of the mountain 👍

[@DafyddPhillips]

Happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@robertruark4051]

Fantastic video as always and that pilot looks like he was having fun.

[@nuvostef]

Nothing quite concentrates the mind more than doing aerobatics in a Viper while inside a bowl!

[@retonesa505]

I was there and that was an amazing display ! And what a pilot ! Great! And i think that was one of the best F16 Display that i ever saw!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching ✈️👍

[@mike.47]

I remember riding my motorbike through a Swiss valley and watching a F18 landing on the next road to me. Great video.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks Mike, Switzerland has some stunning airports within the hills.

[@cooltube]

[@nickjames2370]

Stunning flying, scenery and filming. Also Kudos to the Swiss authorities. Can you imagine trying to "sell" this and AXALP to the UK authorities?

[@Sonoma_Coast]

Dang impressive. Best Airshow in the World.

[@fishyyoutube]

I was there live, and dang that plane was so loud

[@danapeck5382]

I’ll be in Belgian on those days and also in axalp. Doubt he will fly axalp but would be great ! Thanks for watching

[@RameenFallschirmjager]

I can't believe someone was in the cockpit!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Flown by a real human ✈️

[@wiggy5355]

[@crashburn3292]

I always love that growling/winding sound the engine makes like at 0:22 - Great to watch as always Dafydd, it's just too bad the scenery couldn't have been less ugly... 😉

[@DafyddPhillips]

Happy you enjoyed it!! Should of been snow 🤣👍

[@christosdeschaine9444]

All of the times I've been to airshows with modern fighters doing these aerobatics, and this is the first time I've wondered if these demo teams turn off (or set to a smaller threshold) their altitude alarms, or do they just learn to kind of ignore them?

[@hamshackleton]

Steel cohones or insane, I'm not sure which!

[@DafyddPhillips]

But if both I say ✈️🤠👍

[@ragoonsgg589]

Bro flew over the Mach loop. That's a first lol

[@lindaj5492]

Just wondering how much pilot relies on visuals or instruments to judge distance to mountainside - especially on those runs where he turns directly towards it?!?

[@64Pete]

😎✌🇦🇺

[@hubpaq]

it's not for nothing that the F16 is so popular

[@Baxter911]

👍😻🤌

[@vitaliyvyntu4566]

Hello from Ukraine

[@DEVILDOG1964]

HOW TALL ARE THOSE MOUNTAINS?

[@WhiteNinjainblack]

For me it looks like it needed little bit of power in that engine.

[@akhan8456]

One can only do such maneuvers with a stolen fighter jet, wonderful

[@TomMarvoloRiddle01]

Wie heiss isches gsi?

[@pre7ender]

Sehr viel heiss 😅

[@lindaj5492]

Do they deliberately create ‘smoke trails’ for these display / training runs? Naïve question, but it would seem bad design for fighter jets to make themselves so visible in combat if trails are normal!

[@christosdeschaine9444]

Yes. The demo teams attach oil burning smoke generators to the wingtip "hardpoints" and an oil feeder drum in place of the 20mm Vulcan ammo drum. For US demo teams these burn the Grade 1010 lubricating oil.

[@schmikeMS]

Ca fume beaucoup !! Bruant !!! L'Amérique et avec nous le rafale aurait eter bien plus efficace !!! 😂😂😂

[@user-sm5ev7yk7f]

Its for what?

[@ianrawlings2546]

To enjoy!

[@terryboyer1342]

Just another typical F-16 demo. 🙄Not!

[@staycxld]

Looks like wreckless flying to me.

[@simongoosen9525]

Don't think so. This guy has more than 5000h of flight with the f-16.
