What's your source? The official site still gives the 'old data'.

Asked Tim the same question and the organisers of MAKS confirmed it to him. The website has been changed in the meantime;

It now shows the new dates.

For those who had missed it over at http://www.aviasalon.com/en/news/item/news_id-274.htm :

Chinese aerobatic team will for the first time take part in MAKS 2013

26 апреля 2013

On August 1, the aerobatic team of the Chinese Air Forces will for the first time take part in the flight program of MAKS 2013 XI International Aviation and Space Salon, announced Commander-In-Chief of the Russian Air Forces Viktor Bondarev at the meeting of the Organizing Committee.

Chinese aviators will perform at Chengdu J-10 multi-role fighters. Six machines equipped with AL-31FN Russian engines will take part in the show.

It would be the first ever European display done by Chengdu J-10 jet fighter(s)

One addition: If somebody wonders about the announcement about the chinese aerobatic team (previous posting), the team will not perform on August 1st for sure - "August 1st" is the name of this team, so most probably a translating fault.
But anyway, if someone knows if this team will also fly during the business days, please let me know!

Thanks,
Felix

Can we also expect some solo fighter displays like the T-50, Su-37 or Mig ?

I hope so, there are 165 russian exhibits announced (and further 21 of foreign countries).
One additional announcement is the Yak-42D Roshydromet Aircraft Laboratory in flight program.

Also Su30-SM in flying program, source: http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2013_08_1 ... 2013-2557/

If someone knows about a flight schedule, especially for the chinese aerobatic team, please let us know!

See you,
