Koksijde 6 and 7 July 2011
On some boards there is a rumour that the Saudi Hawks will come to Koksijde this year.
Who knows more about this?
If this is true, Koksijde will be one of the main shows of 2011 with the Thunderbirds allready in the show.

Hi democeans!
You should know, a joke becomes boring if it is told too often...

I assume you invited them to a cup of tea at your grandmothers house, as they were just driving through your one-horse town?mirage 69 wrote:Just had contact with Saudi Hawks.

@JA37
I just took a look at their website and found a contactform, I asked them about the rumours about a visit to Koksijde......they answered that they will visit Koksijde but also Airpower and RIAT.
About the tea......that's not true, I don't drink tea......

I open here a dedicated topic. Here is the mail I received from RIAT :
Thank you for your enquiry.
Whilst it would be a great honour to host a visit by the Saudi Hawks we have, as yet, received no official correspondence from them regarding their participation in RIAT 2011. Therefore we are unable to confirm their involvement."
Kind regards

Re: Saudi Hawks rumours
Or it only confirms nothing is official yet, not saying they will come, not saying they will not come. It certainly doesn´t say anything about Koksijde, so also certainly not saying the other posted message is nonsense or not.Polleke_NL wrote:This only confirms that - so far - they will not vist RIAT 2011
In other words, all are just rumours and nothing more than that as of yet.

Re: Saudi Hawks rumours
I think the Saudi Hawks will be a highlight to any airshow in Europe, and as most airshows need as much visitors as possible to earn some money, I guess that if they will come, it will be confirmed soon. So let's wait until the next official announcements from Zeltweg, Koksijde or the Riat... As long as there is no official confirmation from these airshows, I think they won't show up, so let's hope there will be confirmations soon...
just my opinion....

As a sidenote, I dare to dispute the statement that the Saudi Hawks could increase visitor numbers at airshows. Depending on what kind of airshow (RIAT being the exception), for a lot of people they're probably a bunch of Hawks, which are green instead of red
