Thanks for update. I had been checking up on this airshow during the early and mid summer but gave up with little or no updates. Decided to do Jersey instead
Shame as it looks pretty good
Anyone else been before or going this year

Hello to everyone. My name is George. This is my first post here at the forum although I am a regular visitor for many years now. As I happen to be one of the organizers of this airshow, I could gladly answer to any of your questions.

[Chrisse]

Welcome George and I am greatly looking forward to my visit to the AFW next weekend! The lineup looks outstanding!

[GeorgeKAFW]

When will you arrive?

[GeorgeKAFW]

Although it's our fourth year as a show, last year but also this year we managed to bring some quite unique visitors. Among the participants note: Saudi Hawks, Orliks, MiG-29, Aegean Airlines A320, Olympic Dash 8 plus all Hellenic forces, F-16 Zeus, T-6 demo, Phantom II, Mirage 2000, Apache, S-70 Aegean Hawk, AB-212 and many other smaller aerobatic aeroplanes plus some vintage aircraft like Catalina or Stearman...
And the show goes on...

Good luck George, hope it all goes well and the weather plays ball! Wish I could be there, I'd love to see a Phantom!

Many thanks for updates. Unfortunately due to lack of info earlier in year I decided to go to Jersey thinking Athens would be cancelled
Is it possible you can promote next years show a bit earlier on here. I am sure you would entice many of us to go.
Even Ian Allan tours cancelled their planned visit thinking it wouldn't go ahead.

The Facebook page was updated quite regularly (just go back down the timeline to March, April, May, June, July, August), there were some website updates along the way (eg Polish Mig-29, Wefly, ...). Any signs of cancellation were in the hysteria-based fantasy of some.

I am trying to get in contact with the site in order to make a review of this year's airshow so that everyone can have a look of what will take place in Athens next weekend. Does anyone have a contact?

Hi George,

PM the account "UK Airshow Review" with what you have in mind and the staff will have a look.

Thanks

Andy

[GeorgeKAFW]

I am sorry. I didn't fully understand how can I do that. Can you explain me how? Or I can send you a PM...
