In lieu of the planned Rafale pair “Requin Mike” who are unavailable due to operational reasons ,
the French Armée de l’ Air et de l’Espace will send a double bill of Belgian airshow premieres to the International Sanicole Airshow in 2022.

The first are a pair of one of the newest aircraft in French air force service,
the advanced and highly capable Pilatus PC-21 training aircraft.

They hail from the base at Cognac and are known by their radio callsign Mustang X-Ray. They will perform tactical role demo of the manoeuvres taught to all trainee-pilots using this latest of the Pilatus turboprop trainer family,

The second premiere are the prestigious “Ambassadeurs parachutistes de l’Armée de L’air et de l’Espace” (APAAE).

What would the jumpship be for this military parachuting team

maybe the local flying club will provide an aircraft for the 5 french paras, looking at their facebook page they jump from almost anything

If you Google that French parachute team you will see a variety of aircraft being used, both mil and civil: CN.235, Cessna, Broussard.. Guess it depends on availability and what's most practical for the location/occasion. A CN.235 seems the most obvious choice unless they hire a local Belgian plane (Skyvan?).

French Rafale duo is cancelled due to operational needs. Not for this show only but looks like the Rafale team is done for the whole year.
replaced by 2 French Pilatus PC21 trainers: "Mustang X-Ray"

Or perhaps the US-registered CASA212 from Antwerp? That is also used for Belgian military para-training..

That Pink Skyvan from a sertan photoclub would be the best option as it's there flying around anyway..

the Italian Air Force once again provides a fierce spectacle and deafening roar over Sanicole.

The Italian test center Reparto Sperimentale di Volo, based in Pratica di Mare, not far from Rome, is sending one of the world’s most modern training aircraft, the M346 Master.

In terms of power and maneuverability, the EF2000 is no slouch either, which you cannot possibly miss during the second demo of the Reparto Sperimentale di Volo.

To top these awesome demos off, the Italian air force test center will also showcase the highly capable Leonardo C-27 Spartan transport aircraft in flight.

[bvdboomen]

and F35 during Spottersday

Where do you read that the F-35 is coming to KB?
The word goes that the Lightning is flying directly from Lakenheath.
I hope you are right. Can you elaborate on this?

[Stafsels]

Follow the link in the post above yours and you will see that stratofighter uses the official sanicole homepage as source.

If i am not mistaken.

And this source only refers to the f-22. So we are still in the dark about the the f-35.

[Stratofreighter]

...my mistake. DISREGARD all my remarks concerning F35's and the Spottersday...

Did not see this one before, so should be a very recent addition.

I don't think so. Just nothing to communicate.
