Belgian International Airshow, Florennes

[Kieran]

That is superb news!

So Fitters, Fulcrums and Flankers at Florennes? Just need Fencers and Frogfoots now!

Slovak MiG 29 is definitely confirmed too!

[Harry_Imp]

I seriously think this is close to matching RIAT! Obviously not quite but this show will be truly awesome?!

Anyone seen the SU-22 Role demo? What can we expect?


Harry

[Kieran]

They're more of a role demonstration than a proper display. Couple of go arounds etc. Oh and they can pop flares...

[Harry_Imp]

Awesome, really can't wait for this!

2 x SU-22 Dynamic Display

Oh sweet Lord ! Awesome!

[Koen L]

The farmer will be in shock when he sees his fields full of photographers once again.

I think they will have to open their doors earlier than 10am!!

Here's hoping the SU22s are allowed to pop their flares in their low n'fast run down the crowd line, like Radom last year!

Flares are allowed in Belgium so there is a fair chance!

Harry

Flares, fast passes, gear down passes and a lot of fast circles.
For at least one day try to be "inside" their circles - great sight when one aircraft is "hidden" behind its wingman and when aircraft shows topside.





Not very sophisticated demo but great to watch and to photograph in my opinion.

[AARDVARK]

Looked on the official web site,no mention of the Flanker,Fulcrum or Fitters,or the French stuff for that matter?

Can someone enlighten me please?

Well it told us everything else right so it is 100% reliable. The Jozef Van den Broeck bloke is works for the airshow

[Harry_Imp]

Now added to the website all of these additions other than the Ukranian - still due to come apparently just a bit more paperwork.


Croatian AN-32 added static.

Sooo-bloody-perb! What a line up!

[Harry_Imp]

Sooo-bloody-perb! What a line up!

Tell me about it! I really cant wait and think this airshow is actually rivaling some of the best in europe!

Hopefully the SU-27 still comes though!


Harry

[Vulcan1010]

Mig-29 still not on the website

[Harry_Imp]

The Slovakian one is on the flying display - and as already said the polish was replaced by the su-22.

The su-27 isn't on the static list, but that's because as of yet it is not 100%

Harry

[boff180]

Holy crap! Can this show get any better?

[Vulcan1010]

Can't wait till the show

[Oldtower]

Anyone know of a nearby campsite or cheap hotel ???

[Chrisse]

No clue about campsites, you could check in the Dinant region. Florennes is really middle of nowhere. For hotels, you'll probably have the best chance in Charleroi, about 30-35 km from Florennes, not that Dinant is all that close to the base. Or you could check Namur, about the same distance as Charleroi, but a fair sight prettier.

[Koen L]

Not too hard to find a place that's better looking than Charleroi, Chrisse!

You never know, some people enjoy the excitement of cities where you're likely to find your car with a few vital parts missing in the morning.

[Harry_Imp]

Danish F-16 moved from Flying to static. Shame, but it could of been worse
