Malta International Airshow 2009 took place in the weekend of
26-27 September. The display flying returned to Luqa airfield
after a two year absence due to building of new large hangars
for Lufthansa Technik Malta adjacent to the Airshow static
park. During this two-year absence, the display flying took place
north of the island over the sea in St.Paul`s Bay.
This year`s star attraction were to be two Libyan Air Force fighter
jets, an Su-22 and an Su-24, but they were cancelled a few days
before the event to the disappointment of all aviation community.
Even the Italians were expected to send two F-16s from Trapani
but cancelled their participation.
During the seventeenth edition the Military Air Arms of Malta,
Italy, France, Germany, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and
the United States of America were represented. Most of the
aircraft taking part were on static display throughout the two day
event, except for the beautiful orange coloured F-16 which was
spectacular and precise in its flying display and the civilian operated
Breitling Jet Team display team with their seven L-39Cs
Other flying displays consisted of the locally based Armed Forces
of Malta aircraft such as the loaned CASA 212-200CC AS0925
which took part in parachute droppings and Italian Air Force Malta
based AB212 helicopters which gave the public how operations
are carried out in Search and Rescue emergencies.
