Riga is set to host the largest airshow in the Baltic states on June 27 and 28 at the Spilve airfield. The event will bring together participants from 12 countries, and organizers have been preparing for a year to deliver an impressive show for thousands of spectators.

Organizer Artūrs Šlosbergs highlighted the exciting program. A key attraction is the Hungarian Gripen fighter, which will perform a full ten-minute demonstration, including all possible maneuvers, not just a flyby. The Canadian Air Force's Hercules aircraft will also fly over both days.

In addition to aerial displays, visitors can enjoy ground stunts, such as a motorcycle jump over an airplane. The organizers hope this airshow will become a significant event in the Baltic region, attracting both locals and tourists.
