How to secure a seat for a 2025 project?

You can book right now. If you are already on a list of interested aviation photographers, PLEASE MENTION it!! Some of you have a bit of priority due to a cancelled project or flying credit you have. If the seat is available, I will send you the deposit invoice for 50% of the project price. You will have two weeks for payment ( in order to give every photographer a fair chance ), once the deposit is paid your seat is 100% confirmed!! You can book as many projects as you like.

For projects that are still marked as ‘TBC’ or do not have a solid date yet, I will not send an invoice but you will be added to the list of interested aviation photographers and I will provide you the number. No obligations at all until we get a green light, at that moment I contact aviation photographers back in running order.

Long term 2026– 2030

You can have your name on the list of ‘interested aviation photographers’ for any project in the future. It does not cost anything, and there are no obligations to it at all! It is only after a project is confirmed we start contacting aviation photographers back in running order. The deposit invoice of 50% to be paid to confirm your seat is always send out the year before. So for example you can perfectly have your name on the list of RIAT 2028 ( as some of you do… ). We contact aviation photographers on the list around October 2027, and if they take the seat the invoice will go out. It is that simple and it goes for ALL projects we fly.

You have to send us a SEPARATE email for EVERY project that has your interest, as every email is a little piece of the giant puzzle. You can always give it a try, keep in mind that even if you are at #24 on the list you still can have the luck to secure a seat in that project, as the further into the future the more aviation photographers will not pick up a seat for real.

Projects 2025

Abbotsford

For two years in a row the Abbotsford photoflights were the very best project of the season… and we like to go for a hattrick! It’s here that we got to see last year the T-33, F-16, B-17, Skyraider, Corsair, Snowbirds, A-10 and dozens of other fantastic aircraft. The scenery with the snowcapped Mount Baker is just stunning. Every single aircraft that flew for us looked like a true star. The variety in beautiful backdrops is simply amazing. With the fantastic support of the RCAF, Nav Canada, USAF, Navy and the airshow team, we dare to promise you a dream air to air adventure.

For this project we offer a 2-day package ( either Tuesday & Wednesday OR Thursday & Friday ) and the ‘full’ 4-days package. Line-up for this year starts to look very promising already, but like with every big airshow it will always be impossible to know which aircraft might join the Skyvan on which day. If you welcome any aircraft, the Abbotsford project is 100% satisfaction.

Erickson warbird day

One of the best warbird collections in the entire world can be found at Madras airport, Oregon. It is the home airfield of the Erickson collection, and most of their precious birds are in a FLYING condition. The Skyvan photoship will make a stop here to fly our first American full warbird project. They have just so many warbirds that we could easily fly a full week!! But it’s just going to be 1-day… and 2 sunsets!

Not only the Erickson collection is amazing, so is the scenery surrounding the airport, with the phenomenal Mount Hood, canyons, rivers… breathtaking really.

If you like photographing warbirds, this is one not to miss. The Erickson team will bring us a lineup that is absolute worldclass, top ace pilots and a backdrop that will turn your photos into a work of art. Each one of them!

F-4 Phantom day

If you would have to name 1 single jet that every aviation photographer has on the wish list to capture air to air….who would be at number 1?

The legendary Phantom is still active with 338 Squadron in the Hellenic Air Force, for many years we have been given the chance to welcome their jets behind the Skyvan. Every single time that is 100% phure magic and adrenaline, there is simply not another jet around with that aura and charisma like the F-4.

We are witnessing pliving aviation history, and we all know that the days of seeing a Phantom pfly are getting smaller and smaller. Before we know it, they will be in a museum phorever… The Hellenic Air Force and 338 Sqn have been great supporters of our photomissions, and we are phorever grateful there will be another chance this year to see the Legends alive. During the F-4 Phantom day in 2024 we had a dazzling sunset photoflight, we have made the same request for this year.

You will need to be very phast to book this 1-day project.

Athens Flying Week ‘all arrivals’

If you browse through our website you will have seen that we have big friends in Greece! That has a lot to do with the fantastic team behind the Athens Flying Week airshow. For many years, the airshow has set itself apart from the other big European airshows by offering a program that was not only build to showcase the capabilities of the Hellenic military, but also for the real aviation enthusiasts from around the world. They always feature some participants that make a rare appearance in the European skies.

And our crew has the luck to welcome most of those participants behind the Skyvan photoship. The Hellenic Air Force, Navy and Army come out in force and give us the unique opportunity to capture those moments in the skies. Each year it seems that we are still getting better, while so many of our very ‘best’ and ‘iconic’ pictures are taken in Greece. The ‘all arrivals’ package is 1 project of 4 days flying, starting with the Kalamata trainers and our traditional visit to Andravida, Phantom heaven. We make good use of the wonderful sunsets, sea & desert like landscapes to offer you photo join-ups that are world exclusive. Once in your aviation photography life, you have to join us here!

Athens Flying Week ‘departure days’

For the smaller budgets we are happy to offer another project in Greece, that we traditionally fly on the Sunday airshow day and Monday. Smaller does mean not that many join-ups, but the star value is absolutely there. In recent years we had the luck and pleasure to welcome the Mirage 2000, Spitfire, C-130, EMB145 radarplane, M346, helicopters, some of the foreign participants,…

And yes that unicorn jet, the F-4 Phantom, did show itself in 5 of the 6 years!!! Always a few surprises here, but good ones!! As the chances to see each of their classic assets slowly but surely dwindle, this 2-day project is also very popular. If you like to come to Greece, don’t wait too long to check for available seats.

NATO Days

For many years we were invited to take the Skyvan to the biggest airshow in the Czech Republic, but we couldn’t make it due to the same date as Athens Flying Week. This year we finally make our debut and we are fully pumped for it!

We have an ambitious 3 day program for you, if you look back at what the NATO Days had on the program you know you will be in for a treat! We are already working with the Czech and Slovak Air Force to have some additional flights on Wednesday, but the airshow line-up itself is always stunning, and for sure some highlights in there.

Most of the join-ups will be military, with a good portion of them being jets. It’s a bit like a little RIAT!

The full package offered is for 3 days of flying, but we also have 1-day tickets for the busy Thursday & Friday.

Pacific Airshow

B-1B… we had it for real. For 35 minutes!

Our second corporation with the Pacific Airshow was one of only highlights, just one after the other! While the airshow beachside was plagued with a stubborn layer of fog, up there we had the greatest time of our life. Bizzjets at sunset, vintage aircraft, warbirds and cool beans as the F-18 and F-35C made the first three days spectacular.

Traditionally we fly out to our warbird friends in Camarillo for the final day of this project, and once again we had the opportunity to capture several of their prime birds in beautiful scenery.

And you know what… we will do it again! With the aircraft we already know are coming, and all the great contacts and meetings we had at the ICAS convention, I would be tempted to spoil some of the big stars and surprises…. but I’m not gonna do so. However, if you like the hardcore aviation action Hollywood style, this is it baby. You gotta be fast again to secure a seat here, as in just 2 years the Pacific Airshow project has become super popular.

We will offer again a 2-day package ( either Wednesday & Thursday OR Friday & Saturday ) and of course the full project with 4 days of flying.

Arizona classics

Our season traditionally ends at the homebase of the Skyvan. We invite our flying friends to take part in a day of just joy, fun and flying in that amazing desert scenery they have… and the best sunsets in the world!

The focus is on vintage and warbirds, but everyone is welcome. And so last year we were absolutely spoiled by 16!!! join-ups over 2 sunsets, 1 sunrise and 1 very hot day.

It was not just simple GA aircraft, but helicopters as the JetRanger, AS350, vintage Stearman, L-39, topclass warbirds as Yak-9, Mustang, T-28…and of course this absolutely unbelievable chance to fly a long sunset mission with the world’s only flyable Privateer. This is a non-military project, but just so nice to sharpen your skills with fantastic aircraft set in a western movie scene. We love to do it again, and are working already on some “too good to be true” aircraft!

Arizona military

Our first military day in 2024 brought us the Blue Air PC-9s and very first photo mission for a Slovak F-16. They both opened the door for sooo much more to come. We have made a lot of new and interesting military contacts, and being able to show them what we do has triggered a lot of interest.

We will still plan the Arizona military project as 1-day, but this year it could be three times as big. Ooh, and our Top Aces friends said that we finally should be lucky with their new ‘Blue Flanker’ F-16s!

Also working on some ‘cool beans’ to end our season in style!
