Does anyone know more about the Finnish F-18 or the Polish AF that were 'rumoured' to be attending? It looks as if the website is very rarely updated, and I don't think it's been updated since early last month!

Also, what are the chances of the Open Dagen getting the Czechs, as the Gripen, ALCA and Mi35 are at Sanicole the day after...

Fantastic news about the Italian Typhoon; it was a superb demonstration at Izmir! :D

The F-18 Demo from Finalnd and the Italian Typhoon demo are both coming to Leeuwarden. The polish AF will be there with a (2) MIG-29, SU-22 and a Casa. We are still working on the participation of the Czechs.
Hi jb5,

Any chance for a Mig-29 from Slovakia?

Would be great to see two mig-29 demo's

They're fantastic additions! Really pleased about the Italians and the Polish!

Agreed that it would be nice to see the Slovak MiG demo! Perhaps the RAF could be persuaded to bring their Tornado GR4 Role Demo too? :)

They don't have the funds for sufficient pyros for their shows in the UK, and TBH, saw them last weekend on the livestream, and without pyros, that one isn't even 10% of what it is with that.

Any possibilities for photo oppurtunities of C-130H RNLAF G-781?
Last year G-988 was already placed at the static, would be great to see the other short one in demo or on static (given that the paradrop Herc also is coming in low.....

Greetings,

Henk

Can anybody state if the Polish Mig29 will be a flying display or static display?

Mig29 Flying, the SU22 and C295 are static
There are 2 MiG-29s if I read the post from jb5 correctly. So I assume one will also be on static?
Cheers,
Gideon

I heard also some rumours about the another Mig-29 Display from the Slovak AF, is this true jb5?

I already said this once here but I love to see 2 mig-29 displays

On Saterday also the annual Market Garden memorial takes place. Would be nice if the Hercs could made a flyby at Leeuwarden as well.
