Polish Mig29 seems to be cancelled. Not on Sanicole website anymore.

[dordrecht]

Hungarian Gripen is also off the list

That's minus 2 fighters ....
Hopefully there will be some jetpower-replacements.....

[Snipes]

Can someone tell me which planes will fly from Kleine Brogel for the participation of the flying display at Sanicole? And if there is a possibility to take photos at KB?

[Kane]

Snipes, if I'm not mistaken it is not possible to take pictures around KB during the airshow. but which: All jets, the Flying Bulls, PC-7 team, Dutch Spitfire I think as well.

[Jarnob]

Why is it not possible around KB? Are all roads around KB closed?
And does anyone knows if it is possbile to see the Sanicole airshow from somewhere outside of this field?

It is not (really) possible to view the Sanicole Airshow from the heath/heideveld south of the airfield.
If you do try then authorities will most likely remove you from this MILITARY terrain/domein.

Sanicole airfield/Hechtel Eksel is smack in the middle of a military training area,
hence walking around is not recommended,
certainly not now we live in rather "troubled times", especially in Belgium. Molenbeek etc....

The major trunk roads around Kleine Brogel Air Force Base will not be closed,
but it is not unlikely that local police will move you on if you loiter around spot 1
at http://www.scramble.nl/airfield-guide/kleine-brogel .
They certainly have done so in the rather recent past, so bring a long lens with you

[Fogg]

Thanks for that, Stratofreighter.

The Swedish AF HF seem to be scheduled only for Sunday, any clues as to when they will arrive?

[michel N]

Probably tomorrow. Today they are at the Jersey Airshow.

[Jarnob]

Tx Stratofreighter; makes it clear not to try anything around Sanicole/KB.
Guess im gonna need to pay the 44;- for me and my gf then.....

Last year during Sanicole it was no problem to stay at spot 1 @ Kleine Brogel.

Last year during Sanicole it was no problem to stay at spot 1 @ Kleine Brogel.

In 2014 everyone was moved on by a police van and two very assertive (not to say "agressive") police motor cycle cops.
And yes, a lot of resistance was put up by numerous spotters, but when they started taking down car licence plates and threatening with fines....
"Safety precautions"...

It may be possible to stay for long at spot 1,
but I would certainly not recommend you parking your car on that road within a 500 metres/half a kilometre radius of spot 1.
The "Oude Weyerstraat" that is.

In 2014 if your car was well parked out of the no parking zone no problèmes...
