In the eve of this event we are introducing you a few latest news related to the show and also the full line up of Digital Sanicole Airshow.
It seems that the online air shows already became quite popular among the aviation enthusiasts, and there is no surprise that also the famous Belgian event will be presented in its digital variant tomorrow. Broadcasted on the Internet, the digital air show will bring a few spectacular air displays, interviews with pilots and some archive images from the past editions of Sanicole Airshow. The online event will also offer some ´behind-the-scene´ footage from the air bases, organization of the air show and cockpit-view images.
The first participants were already introduced in the beginning of August, including the RAF Red Arrows, Esquadrilha da Fumaça and Frecce Tricolori aerobatic teams. A few days ago it was additionally announced that also Patrouille Suisse, Patrulla Aspa, Patrouille de France and the Royal Jordanian Falcons would join the show, making the digital Sanicole an exceptional overview of top military aerobatic groups.
The warbirds lovers should also be pleased as Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Spitfire and Hawker Fury are also included among the participants. Certainly, the viewers will not be missing a usual package of Belgian Air Component demo teams, supported by Greek F-16 and the Czech Air Force JAS-39 Gripen (flying together with Martin Šonka in his Extra 300 aerobatic special).
