In 2025, the skies over Denmark and beyond will witness a historic farewell as the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) F-16 Solo Display team performs its final season. This marks the end of an era for the F-16 Fighting Falcon, a jet that has defined Danish military aviation for over four decades. Denmark has accelerated the retirement of its F-16 fleet, with the last aircraft now scheduled to be out of service by the end of 2025, two years earlier than initially planned, as it makes way for the cutting-edge F-35 Lightning II.

In a recent statement, organizers of the Danish Air Show have announced the cancellation of the 2025 event, originally scheduled for June 15th at Aalborg Air Base. This decision comes as the Royal Danish Air Force faces increased operational demands and a need to prioritize resources amidst a volatile security environment.
