General
Koksijde is well known for the yearly air show but also hosts the Sea Kings and Alouette 3 of 40sq. Visitors can be seen regularly over here. By 2018, the Sea King will have been replaced by the NH90-NFH of which four are ordered. The first have already been delivered.
Layout
Koksijde is quite huge, although the north eastern part has fallen into disuse. The regular air show static is always on the north side, whereas the flightline is on the south side then.
Getting There
From highway A18/E40 take exit 1 towards Veurne (N8).
Around the Airport
