Sanicole 2026

13. September 2026 (Sunday) This year’s edition of the famous Sanicole Airshow really had some bad luck. Within two weeks before the show, a number of high profile display cancellations came in (Red Arrows, Saab Viggen, Saab Lansen, Gripen, GAF Eurofighter Display). And then on Sunday, REALLY bad weather struck with continuous rain between 08:00 and 15:00 basically without a pause (sometimes drizlle, sometimes heavy downpours) – all with a cloudbase at or below 300ft which made safe displays all but impossible. 70% of the planned displays had to be cancelled. But it is what it is … these are outdoor events and sometimes you are lucky , sometimes you are not. Nothing that could be changed. When it cleared up a bit as of 15:00 , flying resumed and the organizers did a hell of a job to still plan and allow for some dynamic displays. Hats off to the Airshow Staff and all volunteers who had put weeks and months of preparation into this event. Well done! And that includes the airshow commentators who had to sell bad news every ten minutes – they did that in an amazing manner. So … this time we were not too lucky, but next time we will be back! Below are some pictures of the flying that DID happen.
