Re: International Sanicole Airshow, 21 & 22 September 2024 [BE]

Poor old Stagger heard correctly, but as with everything in Belgium, everything is subject to change except the things that are subject to change, or something along those lines ;)

I hope a lot of you will be pleased and the others not too disappointed.

International Sanicole Airshow, 21 & 22 September 2024 [BE]

The International Sanicole Airshow returns this year, a little later than usual, on 21 & 22 September. Central themes this year are the 50th anniversary of the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden. Just like in 2022, the sunset airshow will be held on Saturday...

Dubai Airshow 2023

The Dubai Airshow 2023 was the biggest in the history of the event and contained plenty of gems, some of which were even unannounced in advance, like the Russian Knights. In this video, I try to bring the best of the action in addition to showing you around the exhibition hall and showground. Enjoy ...

There will be three waterpoints to fill up bottles.
Also free water bottles or only that?
AFAIK that is it. And only once the temperature goes over 27 degrees. They remain inaccessible before that.

Yep.
Sadly, the Portuguese Hercules has been re-tasked and won't be joining the static. Their F-16s are still on.

While I am not 100% on the Huey, it is not currently scheduled. For the Seaking, definite no.

Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2023 - Kleine-Brogel Airbase

Actually in this case, it is just a guess. They have done them during the show in recent editions but personally speaking, I'd be very pleased if they are after the event. They really take the pace out of the display.

Tranchant with 4 Fougas only.

Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2023 - Kleine-Brogel Airbase

Well, as you have seen, there will be experience flights with the A400M which also eat up quite a bit of runway time. It will have to backtrack either on take-off or landing which means no flying at that time, and no displays until it has cleared the display box or when it returns after the flight.

Oof, that hurt! Well, the Dutch can't host any airshows at the moment because of the F-35 transition. Always one step ahead of their jolly neigbours :kissing_heart: Well, unfortunately that is only part of the story of course.

Well, gaps will probably be longer than the periods between Belgian journos reminding everyone Max Verstappen is half-Belgian but shorter than the gap between the previous and next Dutch airshow :shushing_face: :innocent:

Things move fast in the final days before the show. Ongoing technical woes with their Hawk fleet has led to the cancellation of the Finnish air force Midnight Hawks. You will appreciate that losing a national display team is a big blow, you can't just pull a replacement out of the bag. Still, hopefu...

Don't think those are 2 displays though, one will be probably be used by the RAF Falcons to jump from.
Exactly this. One manufacturer demo, and the other one is the RAF Falcons aircraft.

No cash/cards directly at any catering points. The Belgians do like to promote personal fitness at th...
