BIAF @Plovdiv 4, 5 September 2011

[Stefan]

News from yesterday next BIAF will take pace at Plovdiv Airport, exact dates are 3,4,5 September 2011. 3 September will be closed for general public, just press. Airshow will celebrate 100 years Bulgarian Military Aviation so we should expect something bigger than usual.
Greetings

3, 4 and 5 September would make it a Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Friday to Sunday would seem more to be more logical?

Regards,
Stefan

Yes but 5 and 6 September are official hollydays in Bulgaria. I think this is this is the reason.

Check, thanks!

Stefan

Looks a great list, worth going for the Harriers alone

And not to forget the MiG's from Hungary ...

Sounds like an invitations list from a former year (or one without the "are they still around?" check).

[digpictaker]

The list from above.......................are those static displays or flying displays??

The list from above.......................are those static displays or flying displays??

More likely 'invited displays' because two of those won't even be around anymore (one already isn't), and while it would be an outstanding collection of participants, it would also be an unimaginably large leap forward for the show to have that programme. Many established big shows would be beyond happiness with half of that.

Also, bearing in mind the Red Arrows are due in Portrush the same weekend and there's also the Duxford September show on, they're unlikely to pop over to Bulgaria, and why would the Czech Gripen (display?) attend Plovdiv when the Czechs have Hradec Kralove going on?

I'd be happily proven wrong, but doubt that I am.

Zerofive first of all the main language used here is English, no Italian!

Second of all could you give a source of the above information as it is highly unlikely these participants show up / are invited.

I checked the official website and nothing was mentioned there.

Hi friends.
Currently, organizers confirmed participation of PC-7 from Switzerland, Galebs from Serbia, Bulgarian Air Force, one Eurofighter, one Me-109 static exposure.
Almost certainly the involvement of one Gripen, one F-16.
Lead to enhanced negotiations Mig 29 OBT.
Bulgaria invited Brazil to participate in the air show.
Here's the link, but it is in Bulgarian.
