What you can find there are visitors, it doesn't say anything about participation in the show itself. The times during which the flying display is scheduled also aren't mentioned in that file.

You're right that these are visitors, but the last time, these visitors were parked at the static line so kinda part of the show. And the DC-2 was flying last time and also mentioned in the slotlist. Not all off course, cause the GA stuff was parked away from the static line.
Cheers, Michel

For those that want to plan their journey, be aware the ferry company expects an extra waiting time of 30 minutes starting from 10.00 LT in Den Helder. (Well, mostly only if you want to bring a vehicle to the island you are affected by such a thing.) Extra ferries are expected to be running from 8.30 till 15.00 (so, as also happened in the past, no extra sailings from Texel to the mainland after the show has finished). Source

For those that want to go by public transport: since this year there are no busses running from Den Helder Railway Station to the ferry in connexion with these extra sailings anymore.

The RNLAF F-16 will make one of only two appearances in its home country this year at Texel (the other one will be Volkel in de Wolken). Given the facts that the organiser of the show is the same person as the RNLAF's Head of Bureau Air Display and the now coach having mentioned Texel his favourite show of all his three years as demopilot, this show shouldn't come as a surprise in the F-16's calendar.

For those coming with public transport:

There are buses going twice per hour from the central station to the boat.
That is Line 33.

If you want to prevent waiting times with your car, take the train :)

I'm sorry, but the ONLY correct info in this post is the number of the buss. (that will leave from the platform furthest from the Railway Station).

As I already pointed out two posts above yours, this bus will run only once an hour (leaving Den Helder at .12), the services that used to be done in connection with extra sailings (those leaving Den Helder at the top of the hour) have been scrubbed since the start of this year as a part of the cost-cutting program of the Province of Noord-Holland, as was locally widely publicised last December.
