Danish Airshow

The Royal Danish Air Force organizes the Danish Air Show once every two years, which is held at one of its three Air Bases - Aalborg Air Base, Karup Air Base or Skrydstrup Air Base. Previously, the event was an annual one, but it is now held every two years at a different air base. The Air Show is a grand affair that attracts a lot of attention in Denmark and Scandinavia. It is one of the biggest airshows in Scandinavia and the largest single-day event in Denmark.

The Danish Air Show is a spectacular event that attracts between 100,000 and 150,000 spectators. The event features numerous military and civilian performers who showcase their skills and perform daring aerial feats, leaving the audience spellbound. Besides the flying displays, the Danish Air Show also offers static displays of many different aircraft, ranging from fighter jets to helicopters and cargo planes. Visitors get the chance to see all the aircraft up close and take photographs. Additionally, there are exhibitions by Danish military units and various civilian companies related to aviation.

The smaller show held at Roskilde Airport, officially known as the Copenhagen Airport-Roskilde, is held in the intervening years between the Danish Air Shows. It is located 4 nautical miles southeast of Roskilde near the town of Tune. The Danish Air Show is a grand event that is eagerly anticipated by aviation enthusiasts and the general public alike. In 2016, the show set national and international records when more than 150,000 spectators visited the Skrydstrup Air Base.
