Dear friends,
After consultation the MET Office and the main sponsor of the Texel “Wings over Holland” Fly-in, we made the sad decision to cancel the fly-in. The general weather outlook is pretty bad especially the chance of showers and thuderstorms in this weekend. We want to keep it safe!
This means that te Airfair is cancelled as well. Texel Airport is of course open this weekend depending on the weather conditions.
