A prestigious airbase, sun and blue sky…this was by far the best scenery to keep a press conference about the oncoming Koksijde airshow and to make the official presentation of the demo teams for the 2011 season.
Koksijde airshow is already mentioned on many aeronautical blogs as “the best European airshow of 2011”.  And indeed, to highlight the 65 years of the Belgian Air Force the authorities are busy to prepare a great event. The theme will be of course the history of the Belgian Air Force with the participation of many historical aircraft like Spitfire, Harvard, SV4 and other Hunter.
No less than eight demonstration teams are planned

21/04 - The "Red Devils" aerobatic team reborn for the 2011 display season.

---

The Belgian Air Component is to resurrect the famous "Red Devils" aerobatic team on the nimble Siai Marchetti SF260 for the occasion of it 65th anniversary. The team which was already created since two years as "Hardship Red" will have its name changed to "Red Devils" for the 2011 display season. Already some freshly repainted aircraft have been noticed at Koksijde as well as Beauvechain airbases. Previous teams of the Belgian Air Force having worn the name "Red Devils" were equipped with Hawker Hunter F.6 (1957-1963) and Fouga Magister (1965-1977). Source: Belga
