4K UHD The Last International Airshow at Koksijde 2011 Upscaled

Описание: The last Koksijde International Airshow 2011
Since there were many anniversaries during the 2011 airshow at Koksijde for the Belgian Air Force, notably the 65th anniversary of the Belgian Air Force, the 40th anniversary of Search and Rescue operations, 35 years of the nearly retired Sea King and 40 years of the Alouette III, so they really wanted to make something special of the event.
Unfortunately it was the last International Airshow at Koksijde

What the organizers did really shows some creative thinking: first of all, it was decided to put both showdates on consecutive week days instead of in the weekend. A big advantage of this is that participating countries can use the venue as a standard operational exercise without heaving to deal with any extra weekend expenses. Also, no other shows are held at that time, so theoretically, everything's available.

Secondly, the first showdate, Wednesday July 6th , was chosen as sort of a “sunset-airshow”, with displays happening between 2pm and 10pm.

Their bold scheme worked as they did manage to attract a mouth-watering list of participants, not to mention 2 very hard to get demonstration teams: the Saudi Hawks and the USAF Thunderbirds.

Come show day on Wednesday, the skies did not look very promising as there was a lot of wind, some rain and a low cloud base. However, as the show started just after noon, the skies suddenly opened up and Koksijde saw some beautiful blue skies, the perfect kind of weather for a sunset airshow.

No such luck on Thursday as the winds kicked in again accompanied by heavy showers resulting in some cancellations that day, such as the BBMF Lancaster, and limiting the demonstration teams to flat displays only. Sadly, the Red Arrows fell victim to technical problems which cut their display short that day. The Thuderbirds also had to cut short on Thursday because of heavy rainfall.

Now my Video : It was filmed at Wednesday 6 of July and Thursday 7July . Thursday we went in the morning to the Up Zone and so we missed a few teams that didn’t flew Wednesday like team Iskri and Team Baby Blue .
My video is a compilation of the best shots of the two days but edited to the line up of Wednesday displaylist.
You will see a lot of planes and displays who are stopped or retired in the last 11 years. So Some Footages have become Unique .
The video is reedit and Upscaled to 4K .
So enjoy
