This year’s Roskilde Airshow has been an absolute pleasure. Not only because of the stunning French Rafale, Danish F-16 or the Swiss Super Puma – but especially because of the weather! Very pleasantly surprised. I expected either big gray dull clouds OR a clean even more dull blue background. But we were very lucky with the weather!..
The program this year for roskilde airshow was a bit thin. Not boring at all, just thin!. The highlight both Friday Saturday and Sunday was undoubtedly the French Dassault Rafale from Armée de l’air, followed by the Danish F-16. Not to mention both mustang and spitfire. What a sound that can come from both a V12 and not least a Rolls-Royce Griffon engine!. Whoa!
All in all, it has been a great weekend, with lots of cool hours with good sound, good pictures and good weather. So in spite of my 6 month wait, it was worth it!
It is absolutely recommended for anyone who has a little interest in airplanes, mostly because the program is very varied so there is little to suit all tastes
