The date was changed to 20 September.

Hi, is there any official site that provides any details?

[hornise]

I expect the news for the event to be published on the official Air Force website.

[hornise]

The show date was changed again. The new date is 11 October. We have new government and the new minister of defence decide this.

[Mr AMARC]

Hi all,
I did not see any other information about this airshow yet, thus also no 'official' confirmation about the new date 11. October.
Any news, somebody?
Thanks & regards
Martin

Thanks, hornise, for the info.

Looking good. Shame my Bulgarian reading abilities are not up to scratch

It looks like, with good ole Google translate

Flying: MiG -21, MiG -29, Su- 25, PC- 9 , L- 39, Spartan, Cougar, Bell-26 and Mi- 17
Static display will include all types of aircraft in Air Force, with the exception of Mi-24

I've tried to translate the other bits, but is there any mention of any parking yet?

Seems like a good excuse to visit the Bulgarian Museum of Aviation in Plovdiv as well on the Sunday

We are talking about Sofia International Airport (SOF/LBSF), right?

[Chrisse]

Yes, but the military part I believe which is located on the north side.

[F17_114PM]

Ok, thank you

[me4o_puhh]

Entrance will be on north side - military part of LBSF. Be there earlier becouse from parking to airshow ground is about 1km walk.

Thanks for this info! Does that also mean looking into southern direction all day? In other words facing the sun (if there is any of course)?

Would be nice to know this on forehand. Thanks
