Can't find anything about a B-52 not on the website and not on mil.be.

Well, someone is "spilling the beans" at a certain Facebook page I believe.
But this "source" was also already announcing the Polish Sukhoi Su-22 flying display before it became "official", so keep the faith. :wink:

Forget about the German F-4 Phantom, it is not coming after all. Still nothing confirmed from USAFE and that Su-27 Flanker.

The participants have disappeared from page http://www.mil.be/aircomp/subject/index ... nl&ID=2079 :?:
A shame really, as the mil.be page was more up to date than

The source is an adjudant of the BAF who is the PR-guy who helps organizing the show. He also did that for Coxyde last year. His intel is solid. Except for sudden cancellations, of course ;-)

The same source at http://www.airshows.be/viewtopic.php?p=107071#p107071 now mentions a Buchel Tornado confirmed for the static,
perhaps a Polish F-16 and/or Mig-29 for the static,
plus some Patruilla Aguillas/Patrouille de France rumours.

Aguila cancelled and replaced by Patrouille de France (saturday only).
US KC-135 added to static, but Canadian C-17 cancelled.

Do you know if the access to the spotting places outside the airbase will be open during air show weekend?

B-52 is also cancelled in the meantime. Turned out to be a vague rumour.

Not so vague a rumour according to http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic. ... &start=175 ...

Yes, Yeovilton will now also not see that B-52 Flypast during the same days as Florennes.

http://www.florennes-airshow-2012.be/in ... EnSiteHome states there was an update in the flying display today, but apart from the Patrouille de France I do not readily see any changes for now... :|

The air power demo participants have all been removed, as part of the update I think.

And according to http://airshows.be/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=10390&start=119 there are some more updates.
No Royal Navy Merlin in the static now, and perhaps three instead of "just two" Sukhoi Su-22s in the static.
Support for the Slovakian Mig-29 should arrive on the Friday, an Antonov An-26.
