Sanicole Airshow 2009

[Acedy]

Has anybody else been there? Unfortunately, despite the sunshine, the visibility was quite bad and the fog didn't burn off for the whole day, so some scheduled participants couldn't join or display their whole program, but the show was great anyway. The things that impressed me the most were the aerobatics performed by the Blades, Melissa Andrzejewski and the Red Bull Bo 105, the B-17 Sally B from Duxford and the PBY Catalina. I had also hoped to see the Hurricane and Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, but they couldn't take off from the UK because of bad weather. :( There were also lots of aircraft form the Nato Tiger Meet that was held simultaneously at the nearby Kleine Brogel airbase, mainly F-16s but also various Mirages, Gripen and an F-18.

Really bad sync on them Blades. I don't thing they're bad, but those airplanes simply aren't good for formation flying, so I don't see a point.
