For anyone that's attended Sola before, is there any access to shoot through/over the fence on the North-West side of the airfield by the flying club?

Apologise for the late reply.

Yes, you should get well clear over the fence. They have elevated the cycle lane in connection with ongoing road construction.

I'll be attending Sola for the first time and wondered if you guys who have been previously could help me out with some info on the show. My questions are,
1,what time does the flying program begin.
2, is the show program the same both days, both on the ground and flying.
3, are tickets available on the day. I've pre booked a ticket for Saturday but want to leave Sunday flexible.
4, does the showground extend the length of the runway. I've had a look at some of the youtube video of the show, they all seem to be taken from the flystation apron.

Thanks for advice you may be able to offer.

Sid.

Hi Sid,

I have tried to answer your questions:

1. Sola is a live airport, and the flying usually begin around the same time as the gates open to fit all the displays in through the day.

2. The show is more or less the same for both days. Some minor adjustments might be done to fit the flying displays in between the airliner traffic.

3. Tickets can be bought at the gate.

4. The showground is on the military side. Between military hangars 2 and 3. It is a wide and long area that is as close to the runway as current regulations allow.

Welcome to Sola Airshow!

Many thanks for the replies, Eirik, this will help me plan my trip. Good point on the flying starting just after gates open as I had forgotten there will be scheduled movements between the display items. Luckily I'm staying at Quality Airport hotel so should be able to get in nice and early. Looking forward to a great weekend with some Norwegian sunshine, just hope the CF-104 makes it.

Sid.
