Spunk-Y Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Damn I'm happy the only show outside US and Canada 16 and 17 june at leeuwaarden open day :huh: Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 88 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Cool. I see them at Miramar every year. Quite impressive. Link to post Share on other sites
Spunk-Y Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 well it will be the first time I see them, normaly Red Arrows and that kind of stuff Link to post Share on other sites
Erdferkel Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Too bad Leuwarden so so far away. Will have to save up for the gas It will be a great show, and one can compare the displays of the europaen teams and the Blue Angels display. Link to post Share on other sites
HokieSNFO Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 well it will be the first time I see them, normaly Red Arrows and that kind of stuff :lol: During the season, I see them just about every Tuesday and Wednesday flying practice shows in my backyard, and I can say with absolute confidence that it never gets old. I at least go outside if I'm at home, and sometimes I just drive on base and watch it there. Definitely the coolest demo team out there IMHO. That's really great that you guys can share in the joys. cheers! Mike Link to post Share on other sites
Fouga23 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Belgium too! Sanicole airshow Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Belgium too! Sanicole airshow Not according to the official schedule I think?? Koen Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger27 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 That's just awsome where in Holland is Leuwaarden ?? I can get a flight to Amsterdam easy enough, but getting from Amsterdam to Leuwaarden may be a little harder Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 It's in the north. Best way would be to get a rental car since getting there by public transport takes quite a bit longer I think. (You have to go around that bit of water we have in the middle of the country if you go by train I believe) Koen Link to post Share on other sites
Spunk-Y Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 well I live in lelystad (that is next to that bit of water ) indeed if you're going by train you need to go around or je can go to lelystad with the train and go futher to the north with the bus, witch also takes a lot of time, but I think it will be really busy at that time around the base Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 That's just awsome where in Holland is Leuwaarden ?? I can get a flight to Amsterdam easy enough, but getting from Amsterdam to Leuwaarden may be a little harder Actually, it isn't that hard to get to Leeuwarden by train. You get on the train at Schiphol, and it will bring you all the way to Leeuwarden, with no changes at all. It is just as fast as by car, and a lot easier. You won't get lost, you won't have parking problems. And in Leeuwarden there's a FREE bus that will bring you to the gate of the airbase and take you back to the station at the end of the day. The only thing that you have to mind, is that you get on the right part of the train, otherwise it will take you to Groningen. Also a nice city, but there won't be any Blue Angels there. If you're interrested, take a look at the site of the Dutch railways NS, or send me a PM and I will send you all the details Link to post Share on other sites
Sietse Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Finally!!!. It is about time they get here in Holland. It only takes me ten minutes to reach Leeuwarden Airbase. Now let's see if they really show up. Seeing is believing. Sietse Link to post Share on other sites
Vliegenier Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'll certainly attend at least one of the shows . Praying for Sanicole ... Stef Link to post Share on other sites
SimFixer Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) where in Holland is Leuwaarden ?? It's on Holland's northern coast, just off the North Sea. The Flieland bombing range is less than a 5 minute flight from the base. Lovely town IMO. :D Spent my 25th birthday (1988) in the bar at the Oranje Hotel.

Lancer512 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 scheduled events:http://www.navy.mil/palib/aircraft/airshows/avsjul06.html first one: Belgium, Sanicole I hope it doesn't get cancelled, but the chance is big. It says that Blue Angels performances are highlighted with a blue background. That is not the case for the Sanicole Airshow.... If you look at the june schedule, you'll see that Leeuwarden is highlighted in blue. It's gonna take me 6 1/2 hours by car to get to Leeuwarden. But it's worth it, I think.
