Ian Allan stated in their tour itinerary that there will be a two day airshow at Zhukovsky Airfield, and 28 aerobatic teams from around the world have been invited.

However, I also emailed Aeroprints a couple of weeks ago to get some details about their tour, and I had a reply back saying that there would be a small airshow on the Saturday featuring historics, and then the Sunday would be the main, presumably military airshow. They still think that the event will be held at Chkalovskya (sp?) though...

At least there's a bit more proof that something is happening that weekend! :lol:

Do you have a link to the 2012 Frecce calendar by any chance?

According to a press-statement posted in Strizhi.ru, it will be a two-day event at Zhukovksy:

(I think the information mentioned on the Frecce website maybe old/wrong)

So I wonder which 10 they are? I guess we can count the Knights, Swifts, Team Rus, Russian Falcons and the Frecce. It wouldn't surprise me if the Patrouille De France attended either...

Some "mighty beasts" would be nice, MIG31, TU160 - maybe the last MIG25.

I would love to see those machines.
