After the successful 2018 event, the team behind Ursel Avia (Belgium) took 2019 off to come back bigger and stronger in 2020. This is not a meaningless statement: for the first time in over 20 years, Ursel will host a full-fledged airshow again! On Friday 26 June, there will be a spottersday to allo...

And so we begin...

Report on the Saturday show of this terrific French event. Warbirds, classic jets, aerobatics etc etc
Fast-paced action and unique aircraft, this is hopefully worth your time watching it.

If the parking near the old tower is open, I'd say that would be the best bet. You're out of the way from the busy road so you can hold a conversation.

I have never tried it but there is an Ikea and shopping mall parking lot on the opposite side of the airfield that jets thunder over. Only issue is you'll be staring into the sun. I believe the parking at the end of the runway is closed that day. You could try standing near the bus stop perhaps and ...

Remember how excited everyone was about a single Mig-21 in a flying display this past summer? Well, the Bucharest International airshow had 4 solo displays by the LanceR, including one by a two-seater and one with flares, and flypasts with formations of 6/5/4 Mig-21s. Add to that just about everythi...

A show that went largely unnoticed last year was the Slovak International Air Fest (SIAF) at Sliac. The show presented some interesting displays including solo and role performances by most Slovak air force assets, with some nice international acts thrown in the mix. Definitely was an enjoyable week...

Thank you, Skyflash.

My understanding is yes, but my understanding may be wrong

Once again, the International Sanicole Airshow aims to bring a host of exciting civilian and military acts together at Hechtel-Eksel, Belgium and provide a terrific day out for the entire family. As you know, we like to accommodate our foreign visitors with English-language narration alongside our D...

Honestly, sit back, relax and enjoy your time there

If memory serves, we arrived at the base around 9 last year and had no queue at all, parked in the first or second row of cars. In the evening, it is a different story, unless you decide to depart before the end of the pyro displays.

The next Belgian AF airshow will indeed be at Florennes, but only in 2021, last weekend of June. It will celebrate 75 years of the Belgian air force. As that show is at Florennes, the Sanicole airshow will also go ahead in 2021 at its usual September slot.

That is the one indeed. Enjoy it! I've never done the spotters pack there, standing in that sun for more than the weekend show is more than my body can handle. Also, may I suggest trying some of the showground catering? I've never tried it (again, high temps and my body don't mix), but it always sme...

You took care of my biggest piece of advice: get an enclosure. it's useful because you'll be on the crowdline which is nice for the taxy shots, but also because you'll have at least a chance you'll find a place to shelter from the sun.

That's more probable even than what I was thinking, I had one of those nasal sprays in mind. I sound about the same when I use them.

That's it for this year's International Sanicole Airshow. On behalf of the entire team of volunteers, I hope that you enjoyed our event and will hopefully visit us again in the future. I would be interested to hear your feedback.

Our next show will be on 11 (sunset) & 13 September 2020.

Hopefully everyone who visited had a good time without hassle. Now to prepare for Sunday...
