BIAS Romania 2020 Show cancelled

Post by Alf » Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:13 am

Have not seen this one reported before , but the September show in Bucharest is now cancelled (not unexpected).

From their Facebook..



Dear friends,

Exactly one month later, on September 5, BIAS 2020 was going to delight you with new demonstrations of force and virtuosity in the air in the sky from Băneasa, with hundreds of pilots and paratroopers being prepared to evolve into what became the one biggest aeronautical event in this region of Europe.
The CoVid 19 pandemic, whose final is still far away, prevents us from organizing a show with public, the care for the health of the participants - performers, public, staff - but also the full compliance of the regulations in force being priority.
We even thought about organizing a show broadcast only on television and social media, but we quickly gave up: for passionate people, an air show seen only on the screen, regardless of the level of professional broadcasters (and they did very good so far! ) has no remotely the same flavor as one seen alive; the physical sensation generated by the noise of turd engines, the smell of burnt kerosene, the pyrotechnic effects and the heat waves related to them cannot be induced to the public even through the best equipment.
That's why we, the organizers - Bucharest National Airports Company, the Aeroclub of Romania, Romeo, the AIBO Sports Club - together with partners (ROMATSA, TAROM) and performers, announce that the twelfth edition of BIAS will take place in 2021 most likely in early September.
Thank you for being and still staying with us and we promise we will make every effort to make the 2021 edition of BIAS not only a memorable one but also the best!
Stay tuned! We will come back with new information... and surprises!

With love,
BIAS Organization Committee

Well at least it wasn't the noise of the burning kerosene and the smell of the turd engines.

Google translate from the Romanian makes it read "revving"...which makes a load more sense.
Cheers, Bob
