One of the special themes for RIAT 2024 was in celebration of 50 Years of service for the Lockheed Martin F-16. Over 4600 aircraft of this type have been built since 1976, initially by General Dynamics who were bought by Lockheed Martin in 1995. Examples of the aircraft that attended RIAT 2024, represented the following air arms :-
Belgian Air Component Royal Danish Air Force Greek Air Force
Royal Jordanian Air Force Royal Moroccan Air Force Royal Netherlands Air Force
Romanian Air Force Turkish Air Force United States Air Force
Of interest is the fact that both participants from the Greek Air Force arrived at Fairford without their special tail markings, but these were quickly applied before they took up their positions (as shown) in the static displays.
