Looking very nice!

The Bulgarians are still missing in the static park tho

according to http://airshowinfo.hu/EN/izmir11.html

Static:
F-5
T-38

Flying:
Turkish stars
F-16 demo
F-4E

But i dont belive that list is accurate at all, Eric said most of the TuAF inventoy will be on dislay in some shape or form. I do hope they are correct on the F-4 Demo tho!!!

Czech Gripen and Greek mirage 2000 mentioned here.

Wow, if all the rumours are true this will be the airshow of 2011!!

With some(we hope) of the USAF participants known for RIAT is there anything for Izmir or just the Thunderbirds?

Update on the website:

Country: Slovakia
Number of Aircraft: 2
Aircraft Type: MIG-29
Type of Display: Dynamic

From static to flying, Nice!!

Maybe a bit off topic but have a look at this month airforces monthly pg 19. the 82nd ATRS are now flying the QF-4 as towing aircraft for target banners instead of the usial civillian contracted learjets from Tyndall AFB saving $750000 annually.
Every little helps i suppose

This guy seems very well informed:
