As expectet, the russian participation was cancelled:

Russia not to participate in Air14

Bern, 12.08.2014 - The DDPS has decided to cancel participation by Russian pilots and aircraft in the Air14 air show. This corresponds with the previous and current policy of exercising restraint in the area of military contacts with Russia.

A squadron of the Russian Knights was scheduled to take part in Air14, flying Su-27 fighter aircraft. The DDPS has decided, in consultation with the FDFA, to cancel their participation. Even in times of crisis it is important to maintain contacts. Nevertheless, military contacts are of a special nature and in the present circumstances it would be preferable to show restraint. The DDPS has therefore decided, after careful consideration, that participation by the Russian Knights in Air14 would not be appropriate at this time.

Is there anywhere on the fenceline at Payerne that is good for taxiing shots?

[BDG]

Most of the planes were scheduled for two days. Now, most of them are only for a day. Some of ,,confirmed" aircrafts like MiG-15 are missing. I'm expecting more ,,surprises".

[Chrisse]

I'm not sure which Mig-15 was confirmed but if it was the Polish one, it's because it's no longer flying, the foundation have ceased operations with it in any case.

Just a bit confiused about the Static Display item Canadian Hornet......

[Richard from Rotterdam]

As far as I know the Canadians cancelled their European tour ages ago.

[Nielis]

As far as I know the Canadians cancelled their European tour ages ago.

Maybe one of the six Canadian Hornets that are currently deployed in Romania.

As far as I know the Canadians cancelled their European tour ages ago.

I know that they've CNL. That's why i doubt about the appearance of that Jet. And to be honest, i guess those Hornets at Romania do have other task's than participating in a Static Display..............

I hope we are not getting any other "bad" surprises the next couple of days!!

Thank you very much for this valuable Information - please continue!
Anything known for tomorrow (Thursday)?
Will the Midnight Hawks, Ramex Delta and the Polish Su-22 pair also operate out of Payerne or from Emmen?

[Tigerspoon]

In general it would be nice if someone can give infos about who is operating out of emmen, meiringen, etc
There are various rumours but nothing really "confirmed"

If you look at the official Swiss AF website http://www.lw.admin.ch/
you will see that Emmen is open in week 35/36/37 for all
types of a/c, also in connection with AIR14
This site mentions at Meiringen:
25.08.-05.09.2014 (Wo 35-36)
- Kein geplanter Jetbetrieb

For all I know all non-swiss participants will operate from Payerne AB. Emmen AB is the first alternate and the base for some participants of the program point "Tribute 100 years " Dübendorf is only the spare field (or at most the Ju52 and B17) and the employes from Meiringen and Sion will work at the named Airbases. According the swiss "Skynews" magazin the individual support aircrafts for the display teams should come to Emmen. And as far as I know also some business jets. Older sources says, that the Mirage and Hunters from Payerne will moved to Emmen. But the last things could be wrong now.

Following aircraft are at least planned at Emmen AB

jets: 1x F-18 (100 years paint sheme), F-5F, DH100 and Hunter (PS paint sheme),
fixed wing: Pilatus P2, P3, Morane, C-3603, Pc-7 orange, Pc-9, B131, P51 (not in Emmen due to technical problems).
helicopters: Alouette II/III, EC635, SP
