Sanicole Sunset Show 2019

[James Cutting]

Decided earlier this year to head out for a 5 day trip to Belgium, seeing the Sunset Show at Sanicole, the Spottersday held at Kleine-Brogel and then the main show on the Sunday! (Pics to follow) First time I've ever done a trip like this, and was absolutely worth it! A nice varied line up, my first shot of a B-52 in flight, and despite the challenging light on the Friday night, it did pull out some cracking backdrops! Enjoy my best selection...

Well done if you made it this far. Hope you enjoyed them! Was a brilliant show, good to see something different! Hard to condense these shots down to this few - it was only a 2.5 hours show!

Nice set James. Belgian is a great place to visit an airshow. So relaxed feel to them!
