為了強化戰力，臺灣空軍舉行了重大軍事演習-天龍操演，演習在10月30日至11月3日期間進行，以空對空、空對海以及空對地等形式，驗收空軍的年度戰備成果，此次參加的機型有，F16V BLOCK20、幻象2000-5以及IDF等戰機，為了激勵士氣，空軍還將選拔出各項競賽的王牌飛行員，作為空軍的標杆，這時候就不得不提一下，去年的天龍操演，4架幻象機在制空作戰操演對上4架F16V，在幻象飛行員操作與良好默契之下，折損1架幻象機戰力，卻擊殺全數F-16V。
In order to strengthen its combat capabilities, the Taiwan Air Force held a major military exercise - Exercise Tianlong. The exercise was conducted from October 30 to November 3. It was conducted in the form of air-to-air, air-to-sea, and air-to-ground to check the air force's annual combat readiness. As a result, the participating aircraft models include F16V BLOCK20, Mirage 2000-5 and IDF. In order to boost morale, the Air Force will also select ace pilots from various competitions as a benchmark for the Air Force. At this time, I have to mention In last year's Tianlong exercise, four Phantom aircraft faced four F-16Vs in an air superiority combat exercise. Under the operation and good tacit understanding of the Phantom pilots, the combat effectiveness of one Phantom aircraft was reduced, but all F-16Vs were killed.
