RDAF debuts at FIA2024 with new F-16 Dannebrog aircraft
June 12, 2024
The Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) is making its inaugural appearance at the Farnborough International Airshow in the flying and static display with its new F-16 Dannebrog aircraft.
The Dannebrog has been out of the sky for over six months and a new F-16 aircraft with the tail number E-006 has been selected to succeed the E-191, which is now in military grey and heading to support Ukraine.
The theme for the E-006 is still the Dannebrog, but in a new and refreshed livery scheme, which also includes elements celebrating the 50th anniversary of the F-16 aircraft type’s first flight in 1974.
In addition to displaying the Danish flag at global events the E-006 will spend a majority of its time on training missions and operational tasks.
RDAF captain Troels K Dehli Vang said: “We are incredibly excited to be flying and attending the Farnborough International Airshow for the first time.
“To be able to fly our flag with our new Danneborg in the UK at the most international airshow in the world is a proud moment for the Royal Danish Air Force.”
Taking place from 22 to 26 July, 2024, the trailblazing Farnborough International Airshow will see global aerospace and defence leaders return to Hampshire, United Kingdom.
The five-day event offers unrivalled opportunities to discover the latest pioneering technology and engineering, announce historic partnerships and work towards the cumulative sustainable aerospace vision.
