Airshow line-up revealed
ANNUAL EVENT SET TO SOAR HIGH ONCE MORE
Sunderland International Airshow bosses have revealed details of the line-up for this year’s event.
This year’s programme for the weekend of July 27-29 will see a host of returning crowd favourites, along with some new aerial and ground displays and attractions.
Sunderland City Council Head of Events Victoria French said: “We are all looking forward to the 30th Sunderland Airshow, an event which the people of our city and the region have really taken to their hearts to help make it the success that it has become.”
Crowd RAF favourites the Red Arrows, Typhoon, RAF Falcons parachute display team and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight are all scheduled to play a part in this year’s Sunderland Airshow.
A number of civilian aerial displays are also confirmed.
New attractions include the ‘Otto’ helicopter pyrotechnic display team, who will join the Fireflies and Twisters to literally light up the skies above the seafront on opening Friday night again with their airborne fireworks.
Also making their Sunderland debut the next day will be Team Raven, a six-ship formation aerobatic display team.
They join display acts such as The Blades, Bronco and the AeroSuperBaticsWingwalkers with the return this year of the MIG15, Vampires, Blenheim and Peter Davies Gyrocopter.
