Aero GP - Blackpool Grand Prix

Seen for the first time in the UK, Aero GP is an exciting new air race. To mark National Veterans' Day, the pilots, many of whom are veterans themselves, will race and perform demonstrations of dog fighting and target bombing. The weekend event would be unlike any other air race in the UK, with multi-aircraft, high speed action.

 

Night Time Parachute Drop & Fireworks Display
An illuminated, night time parachute drop is planned followed by a spectacular firework display. An element of the display includes the raising of national flags recreated in fireworks, to represent the international veterans associations, providing a stunning grand finale to the event.
