BAF F-16 Solo Dispay Pilot Tom “GIZMO” De Moortel flies his beautifully painted F-16 ('Viper' or 'Fighting Falcon') for a public display at 'Festa al Cel 2017' airshow in Catalonia, Spain.
This flight demo was performed at the regional airport of Lleida-Alguaire on September 24th.
'GIZMO' joined the Belgian Air Force in 1996 and started his standard pilot training at Beauvechain Air Base with prom 96A. After completing basic flying training on the Alenia Aermacchi (formerly: SIAI Marchetti) SF-260M/D and basic jet training on the Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jet 1B, he received his pilot wings in 1998. He then went to become a C130 pilot at Melsbroek Air Base but returned to Beauvechain AB 2 years later as a pilot instructor on the SF260.
“GIZMO” started his conversion training with the Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) Squadron at Kleine Brogel Air base in 2005 and began flying Lockheed Martin F-16s.
He joined 31 Squadron at Kleine Brogel AB in 2006 and became the Wing Aviation Safety Officer (WASO) there in 2013. He has over 4500 flying hours of which around 1600 are on the F-16 MLU.
