F16 Fianal Approach Speeds

Been watching a few F16 airshow clips on youtube. They seem to have quite a sporting fanal approach speed.

Does any one know what it is and the runway lenth required to land with no drogue shute.

Thanks just this once.

What sort of runway length was required to pull it up.

Would 1500m be adequate?

The Dutch F16 needed a minimum of 6500 ft when they were trying to sort out his display back in June. The Belgians, a few years ago seemed happy with 6000 ft.
