... politics fail again ...

The Russian Knights formation aerobatics team has suspended a trip to Britain to take part in the Farnborough International Air Show due to a lack of permits for taking military equipment out of the country from the Russian Federal Service for Military Technical Cooperation.

The Russian Knights were due to participate in the show's aerobatic display program.

"Without this permit, which is based on the relevant laws, Russian military aircraft cannot leave the country," a source connected with the organization of the trip told RIA Novosti.

... politics fail again

Politics offer us far more failures then successes so let's only mention this if they're succesfull as that has a lot more news value.....

Airbus cancela los vuelos de exhibición del A400M en Farnborough por problemas en un motor
MADRID, 5 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -
Airbus Military ha decidido cancelar los vuelos de exhibición del A400M en el Salón Aeronáutico de Farnborough, en Reino Unido, que se celebrará entre el 9 y el 15 de julio, tras detectar problemas en un motor, informó este jueves el fabricante aeronáutico.
Según el constructor, los problemas en uno de los motores requieren de una investigación "más en profundidad", por lo que no se realizarán la exhibición anunciada. Al parecer, hace una semana se encontraron fragmentos metálicos en uno de los depósitos de un motor.
Por ello, el fabricante el A400M que se exhibirá en el Salón, el MSN6, el prototipo número seis, solo podrá verse de forma estática para que los clientes actuales, los potenciales y los visitantes puedan conocer las dimensión reales del avión de transporte militar, que se ensambla en Sevilla.
La compañía aseguró que las pruebas de vuelo del A400, cuya primera entrega se realizará a la Fuerza Aérea de Francia antes de marzo de 2013, prosiguen "con éxito" y mostró su satisfacción por los rendimientos del programa.
Pese a las dificultades, la compañía confía en encontrar "las soluciones adecuadas" y cumplir "con las expectativas" del programa.
Hasta finales de junio, los cinco A400M en prueba han realizado 1.180 vuelos, con unas 3.535 horas de vuelo de prueba, desde que despegaron por primera vez en 2009.

N-228 NH90-NFH 860sqn

I assume you mean N-227 for the NH90?

[Starfighter_F-104G]

N-228 CORRECT not yet delivered , it has also a sticker with CSX-?????

[cis]

UH-72 was checked on its plate as 11-72224 and c/n 9501.

S-70i was SP-YVE
Viking should be ZE614 (not checked) and Vigilant coded UT.

@Leonard, did you check the c/n for the Yak-130 yourself? Or what is your source?

Leonard,

Can you tell me were the serial "ZM401" came from? As far as I'm aware this is to become
an aircraft for the French AF?
