Read the following on UKAR :

Sherdils have cancelled due to 'security concerns'.

Let's hope that the JF-17 and F-16 from Pakistan won't cancel

[Airfan]

Well, I've just spoken to a fellow who said that AS-532AL Cougar is the next addition to the group of participants from the Bulgarian Air Force.
I'll give you more info in the next several days.

Unfortunately Bulgarian Cougars won't participate.

Drove by the base this morning. Outside where 2 JF-17 and 2 F-16 from the PAF , no numbers yet. One of the F-16's did a rehearsel for the airshow.
Also seen flying; the special painted F-16, the flypast with at least 3x T-37, 3x T-38, 3x F-16 and 3x F-4, 2x C-160 and a KC-135 and lots of helicopters.
No numbers while security send away people watching at the main road, you were not allowed to stand there . Let us hope this changes tommorow!

my friend reported a C17 Canforce at Cigli not sure if related with the celebrations

I am not 100% sure, but I think the B737AEWs are not yet delivered to the THK, although they are already flying in Turkey (I read something about acceptance of the first one at the end of June). To expect gliders in a flypast is a bit....oh well, never mind.

I was at AKINCI AFB in Ankara yesterday. AEW MESA left air base and I recorded it. I think Its destination was Izmir.
