Unlike the airshow, this Spottersday programme is intended for a limited audience of interested parties. There will be plenty of aircraft to spot on the ground, mutliple rehearsal flights will take place and in addition, some aircraft that will participate in the airshow on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 Sep will also arrive. Not all stands and exhibitions will be open on Friday 8 Sep. If you prefer a total experience for all ages, we recommend buying a ticket for the airshow on Saturday 9 or Sunday 10 Sep 2023.
