Alongside the thrilling flying action, visitors will be treated to non-stop entertainment on the ground – so whether a wide-eyed first timer or a seasoned airshow veteran, the experience is breathtaking.
During the thrilling 7.5 hour flying display, visitors will get to see fast jets, giant transporters, historic aircraft, and much, much more. There will be a chance to meet the crews and get close to the aircraft.

SHEDULE:
We depart Saturdayevening from Amsterdam Plaza (Schiphol) and will stop at several pick-up locations throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and France (see list below with pick-up points and departure times).
At Calais we then take the P&O ferry and make the crossing to Dover, which will take about 90 minutes.
Then it’s a small 4h drive to Fairford, including a small stop along the way and arriving around 06h30.
1 hour after the end of the show we go to our ****hotel, where we can crawl under the covers after dinner and a nice hot shower.
After we had our breakfast, we leave back to Fairford where we will arrive around 06h30 to see most aircraft leave that day.
The return home begins about an hour after the last aircraft has departed.
The bus will take us then safely back again through Dover -> Calais by P&O ferry and then further on till your boardingplaces.
