OK, nice....

It's not added to the airshow site, but this will surely follow later.
Nice addition, all though its another demo team. At least it not one of the standard teams you see every year.

I'm really looking forward....

Greetz Rob.

[SquAdmin]

This would be an awesome addition...

Izmir is not on the agenda of the official Russian Knights website (yet), but let's keep our fingers crossed

[vuurwerkreeshof]

What will be the supporting aircraft of the Russian Knights?

[Shannon spotter]

Wow, if all the rumours are true this will be the airshow of 2011!!

With some(we hope) of the USAF participants known for RIAT is there anything for Izmir or just the Thunderbirds?

[Kieran]

I wouldn't mind seeing a B-1B at Izmir in either the flying or static! Still no Spanish participation either...maybe perhaps Aguila, EF-18 and Mirage F1? One can only hope!

[Shannon spotter]

Czech Gripen and Greek mirage 2000 mentioned here.

[JA37]

I'm sorry to tell you, but Russian Knights participation is a FAKE!

[wizard 51]

Has anyone heard any more on Turkish participants?

Static or flypast?

Seems little info about and less than 3 Weeks to go

[Shannon spotter]

according to http://airshowinfo.hu/EN/izmir11.html

Static:
F-5
T-38

Flying:
Turkish stars
F-16 demo
F-4E

But i dont belive that list is accurate at all, Eric said most of the TuAF inventoy will be on dislay in some shape or form. I do hope they are correct on the F-4 Demo tho!!!

[Kieran]

Would love to see an Airfield Attack demonstration with F-16s used as 'friends' and T-38s/NF-5s used as the 'enemy' with F-4s showing ground attack capabilities! Can also include the UH-1Ds and Cougars the TAF have!

As for other participants, it's been nearly 2 weeks since the last additions were added, I think it's about time there was another one! Spanish, Belarusian, Czech, Israel, Moroccan and Ukrainian aircraft please!!
