Details
This year’s Jersey International Air Display scheduled to take place on Thursday 12th September has been saved by the generosity of Islanders, and businesses who have come forward in the last four weeks to help fund the event. We are eternally grateful for their support and can state categorically that this year’s air display would not be taking place without it. The £30,700 donated to our Race Nation giving page was absolutely amazing and when added to the corporate and private sponsorship we have received, (some as late as Monday morning) means that we now have sufficient funds to put on the flying display although we will still have to make some cuts to what we were planning for this year’s event. Event Organiser Mike Higgins added that "We always believed that the air display was part of Jersey’s DNA and the well wishes and financial support we have received proves how much it is loved and valued by Islanders." The following aircraft are booked to appear in this year’s air display: Équipe de Voltige de l'Armée de l'Air (French Air Force Extra 330) RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team Navy Wings Fairey Swordfish Navy Wings North American Harvard French North American OV-10 Bronco French Conair Turbo Firecat (ex-Securite Civile fire fighting aircraft) Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boat Dutch Fokker D.XXI WW II fighter Edgely Optica French Breguet Alize anti-submarine aircraft Swedish Air Force Historic Flight Saab B17 Swedish Air Force Historic Flight Saab J37 Viggen SIAI-Marchetti SF.260 For those wishing to donate, please following the below link to our donations page: https://sportsgiving.co.uk/.../jersey-international-air...
