I read two articles about CIAF 2012 in czech media. I cannot find those articles to provide you with a link, but in one one of the main organisers stated "that they are awaiting conditions of participation from russians", and in the second one "that they are very far in negotiations". I guess thats why they have not published Strizhi on official website yet

Hi, yes, some rumours goes around, but...
There is message released by Czech Press Agency today, confirming Slovenian Krila Oluje, and saynig that organisers are trying to have flying displays of German Phantom nad Bulgariin Frogfoot.... But again, I don't think it will happen.

As far as I know, both Germans and Bulgarians do not have display pilots and that is why they were not flying at Pardubice but were there just for static display

Even though Strizhi were never officially confirmed, they are now officially cancelled: http://www.strizhi.info/category/airshows/

Slovak Mig-29 added to flying display.

I won't make a report as I don't care for numbers much myself, but if anyone has questions about the aircraft at CIAF 2012 I might have some photographic evidence.
