Compiègne-Oise Air Show
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, come and attend the Compiègne-Oise Air Show, featuring, among other highlights, a scheduled flyover by all the ambassadors of the Air and Space Force.
Cancelled in 2025 due to a lack of funding commensurate with such an event, the Compiègne Air Show will indeed take place in 2026! And since it’s returning to its old ways, it will once again be held at the Margny-lès-Compiègne Airfield, featuring classic ground activities: exhibitions, vendor booths, flight simulators, food stands… The event date is May 17, with demonstrations set to begin around 12:30 p.m.
On the program for these demonstrations: the Patrouille de France and its Alpha Jets, the Rafale Solo Display and its stunts, the Airbus A400-M Tactical Display (that is, the three ambassadors of the Air and Space Force together, something not often seen at air shows); the Phénix Parachutists and their precision, the PC-21 Mustang X-Ray and its young pilots, the Team Raven aerobatic team, the Fouga Magister, the Yako Team, and the Piper J3; but also gliders, helicopters, microlights, as well as reenactments of aerial combat from World War I and World War II. In short, the 2026 edition is certainly quite traditional, but also one of the most comprehensive.
Compiègne Air Show. Sunday, May 17, 2026. Margny-lès-Compiègne Airfield, Avenue Octave Butin, 60280 Margny-lès-Compiègne.
