After an untimely mishap in 2012, the future for DS Aviation (Military) UK Ltd's de Havilland Sea Vixen, XP924/G-CVIX, looked rather uncertain. In an exclusive interview, Tom Mercer spoke to the aircraft's owner, Julian Jones, to discover the current situation and the latest plans for moving forward.







Video: "F16 MLU BELGIAN AIR FORCE DEMO - Pilot: Cmdt Michel "Mitch" Buelen (airshowvision)"




Airshowvision present one of the very best fast jet demos of the last few years, in the shape of the Belgian Air Force F16, flown brilliantly by Cmdt. Michel "Mitch" Buelen.

Unfortunately Mitch has now completed his 3 year stint as demo plot in this jet, but thnkfully we can still enjoy his demo on video.

One thing I have learned over the last few years by going to airshows is that the pilot is every bit as important as the plane in determining how great the demo is, and Mitch has blown all the other F16 pilots away, although there are many other extremely good F16 demos around too.

I am sure I speak for fast jet enthusiasts everywhere in wishing Mr. Buelen all the best in the rest of his flying career, as he passes the baton onto the next demo pilot.
