Typhoon for display at Malta confirmed too

[Chrisse]

The September dates on that page look like last year's, Malta's date is wrong, so is Southport's, which is where the RAF Typhoon will be on the date of Malta.

Hi,

I see that the participants-list on the website is dubbed as "complete" and the Libyans are still on the list, nice! If they actually do show up, please try to check the constructionnumbers of these birds as they are rarely seen. (BTW: Checking c/n's is always a good idea!). The constructionnumbers can be found in the following places:

Su-22

Su-24

They are mentioning that Libyan AF will arrive Wed23rd at 9am not sure if the info I got is correct as I heared this from many people around!!
But I hope they will turn up!!

Hi,

The Su-22 plate location on the Wiki is pretty impossible to access. Note that there are also plates in the wheelbays BUT (!!!) it should be noted that the mail wheelbay plates belong to the wings and not necessarily to the fuselage! So please check as much as locations as possible and remember which plate was where!

Greetings, Paul

Quoting Malta Airshow website:

Spetember 17, 2009

A very sad day where it must be communicated that the Libyan AF will not make it to the Malta Int'l Airshow 2009. After long and intense efforts where participation was approved by both the air force and the ministry of defence in Libya, higher authorities have now declined our invitation. The situation developed last night and fresh efforts were made to salvage the situation but to no avail.

In the meantime, preparations for this year's airshow continue in earnest and there is still a possibility of increased participation by other countries, but this will feature in the participants' list if and when confirmations come in.

Unfortunately the Greek T-6 and Italian F-16's, and off course the Libyans didn't show up. There was also a Dutch AF F-50, but didn't bother with the number, as per picture in a local newspaper, on Sunday there was also a Dutch KDC-10. And there where aprox. 20 small homebuild/private planes, which are of no interest to me, sorry.

Helaas ontbraken de aangekondigde Griekse T-6 en Italiaanse F-16's, en uiteraard de Libiers. Er stond ook nog een KLu F-50, geen idee welke. Volgens een foto in de krant, stond er op zondag ook nog een KLu KDC-10.
