Proceedings get underway at 2pm on Saturday, August 25, with Team Raven formation aerobatic display team and there will be a host of displays throughout the day, ending with the Red Devils Parachute Team at 4.30pm.
On Sunday, August 26, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, featuring a Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota, kicks things off at 2pm with the Red Arrows closing Rhyl Air Show at 5.30pm.
Denbighshire County Council is organising Rhyl Air Show with support from Rhyl Town Council.
Cllr Hugh Evans OBE, leader of Denbighshire County Council, said:
“This year’s line-up is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet with a great mix of displays and ground attractions.
“As well as the Red Arrows, having the last remaining Bristol Blenheim in the world is a real draw for visitors and offers the chance to see a plane instrumental in providing cover during the Dunkirk evacuation.
“With thousands of visitors expected to the area we are encouraging locals to walk or cycle to the event to reduce traffic congestion, but most of all we want the residents of Denbighshire and visitors to enjoy this great free event.”
Other displays include a Strikemaster jet-powered training and light attack aircraft and military aircraft including a Yak-3 and Yak-50.
