The 4 pilots of the British display team The Blades have a remarkable history in aerobatics: They all flew with the worldfamous Red Arrows. Now they stun the audience with their abilities in 4 Extra 300 aerobatics aircraft.
Their demonstration is full of action, both in close formation and spectacular solos manoeuvres. And it doesn’t stop there: Interested enthusiasts can fly with the team because they also form the world’s only aerobatic airline! Among the experienced team members is Kirsty Murphy, until now the only female pilot with the Red Arrows, a huge inspiration to young girls seeking to pursue a career in aviation.
Don’t miss the performance of this popular team at Sanicole and mark your calendar for 10 & 11 September.

T-6 TEXAN II – DAEDALUS DEMO TEAM
Daedalus is a perfect name for the Hellenic air force demo team on T-6 Texan II,
the aircraft used in Greece for advanced pilot training.
https://www.sanicole.com/en/t-6-texan-ii/This will be the first time this display team, which was established in 2005 and is based at Kalamata on the Peloponnese peninsula, performs in Belgium.

HOME > ROYAL NAVY – WILDCAT SOLO DISPLAY
Among the most modern military machines to participate at this year’s International Sanicole Airshow
is the British Royal Navy’s state-of-the-art Agusta-Westland AW-159 Wildcat.
While it may look a little like its Lynx ancestor,
https://www.sanicole.com/en/2-powerful-rafales/The French air force are masters at showing their capabilities through evocative and tight pair’s displays.
This year, we will welcome one of these with the latest omnirole fighter in the French inventory:
two powerful Rafales will thunder through the Sanicole sky as team ‘Requin Mike’.
These twin-engine high-performance jetfighters hail from squadron EC1/4 “Gascogne” and EC2/4 “La Fayette”,
both squadrons with a long heritage to the 1930s.
They are based at Saint-Dizier in north-eastern France and are an integral part of France nuclear deterrent.
With the Rafale, they certainly have an aircraft able to rival any threat in the air or on the ground
and their tight action-packed routine will show off their tactics for air intercepts and ground attacks to great effect.
Join us for this evocative role demonstration in on 10 & 11 September 2022
In Europe, they are known as the Saudi Hawks, but they are actually called Suqoor, which means Falcons in their home country. They fly 7 well-known Bae Hawk Mk65 jet trainers in a lively green colour scheme with contrasting touches of white, the striking colours of the flag of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The team was founded in 1998 at King Faisal airbase and have already undertaken several successful European tours since 2011.
The team not only fly what is basically the same aircraft as the Red Arrows, but their varied display also shares some manoeuvres with that display, though they also include several unique manoeuvres linked to their home country Saudi Arabia. The team alternate between graceful formation aerobatics and breathtaking crosses by the syncro pair to showcase the skill and discipline of the pilots in the Saudi air force and they are guaranteed to stun you with their amazing display.
Join us to welcome this world-famous team back to Sanicole on 10 & 11 September 2022.
Classic aircraft are always popular in the flying display at Sanicole and this year, we are proud two present two very recognizable types, thanks to the legendary Hangar 7 collection of the Flying Bulls at Salzburg in Austria.
Leading this classic pair will be the North American B-25 Mitchell. This classic was a twin-engined and twin-tailed medium bomber that served in all theatres of the Second World War, even at the eastern front! Despite weighing 15 tons, it is remarkably agile and its loud rasping sound will emphasize its highly polished looks.
The second equally polished aircraft will be the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, instantly recognizable thanks to its with its twinboom tail. This escort and ground attack aircraft from the Second World War has two engines and was one of first designs of Lockheed’s famous chief engineer Kelly Johnson, who later design some of the most revolutionary and record-breaking aircraft in the world, such as the SR-71. The P-38 was the first of these record-breakers, when it flew across the USA in just 7 hours from California to New York in 1939.
These two shiny aircraft will no doubt dazzle you over Sanicole on 10 & 11 September 2022.
