New website is online, with tons of new participants. Check it out at www.sanicole.com :smile: Looking for an afterburner fix? ;) Ther's plenty to go around (Poland, Sweden, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary and Belgium), in addition to the female world champion aerobatics (Aude Lemordant), helicopters (Super Puma, A109, AH-64, Otto), warbirds (Flying Bulls three-ship for instance), some teams (PC7 Team, Royal Jordanian Falcons, Red Devils, US Army Golden Knights, Breitling Wingwalkers, Aerosparx, ...), gliders, ... combining to form a well-rounded programme.

Not forgetting the Swedish Air Force Historic Flight. Worthy of a special mention considering the current CAA related rumours.

Amazing just how consistently good the Sanicole line-ups are, a real testament to the team behind the show. It's a pity that the sunset show is looking a bit 'thin' at the moment, wonder if that Polish MiG could be persuaded to fly an evening demo...? :whistle: Just imagine the fire spewing out of those burners at dusk!

Anyone know if there will be a Spotter's Day type-thing at KB on the Saturday, as per last year? That could be the deciding factor in whether or not I bother going.

Unfortunately speaking to friends in Belgium who have good communications with many on base it seems as though there will be no spottersday this year sadly.

That is correct, no spottersday this year, back to the situation of 2012 and before. There's time to discover something else than aircraft :)

Booh! Bloody Belgians denying us our spotting rights!! Seriously though, that's a real shame given the line up and how slick KB do things..

Rubbish news indeed, although if I decide to go I might use the time to go and explore Maastricht, a city I have long been intending to visit.

...or relent and just go and shoot pictures at Eindhoven! :grin:

Dear God.

That thing spewing fire out of its backside at twilight will be an utterly extraordinary sight. :rock:

Excellent show today at Sanicole. More "filler" I feel than previous years but still "filler" I wanted to watch. Swedish Historic Flight work fantastic but the Czech Gripen and Spanish F/A-18 stole the show. Special mention also to the Dutch Spit displaying to the Jurassic Park theme. Two of my favourite things in one!
