Google Translate:
On September 28, 2014 (Sunday), Sofia Airport will hold an air show organized by the BBC. This was announced in an interview with AERO commander of Air Force Maj. Gen. Rumen Radev.

The show will be featuring the Air Force, Navy, Army and Military Police and will include both air and ground demonstrations. Admission will be free and prior information festival will be held in the country of hostilities.

Within the air show will include all types of aviation equipment available that will show the typical missions of the Air Force, including "Air policing" landing and evacuation operations with military helicopters and more.

On the ground display will be shown aircrafts, missiles, radar and more.

In the words of General Radev, the main objective of the airshow is gaining more public support for the Air Force, and motivate young people for a career in military aviation.

Interview with General Radev will be able to read in the next issue of AERO.

Hi all,
I did not see any other information about this airshow yet, thus also no 'official' confirmation about the new date 11. October.
Any news, somebody?
Thanks & regards

Thanks, hornise, for the info.

Looking good. Shame my Bulgarian reading abilities are not up to scratch :)

It looks like, with good ole Google translate

Flying: MiG -21, MiG -29, Su- 25, PC- 9 , L- 39, Spartan, Cougar, Bell-26 and Mi- 17
Static display will include all types of aircraft in Air Force, with the exception of Mi-24

I've tried to translate the other bits, but is there any mention of any parking yet?

Seems like a good excuse to visit the Bulgarian Museum of Aviation in Plovdiv as well on the Sunday :D

Thanks for this info! Does that also mean looking into southern direction all day? In other words facing the sun (if there is any of course)?

Would be nice to know this on forehand. Thanks
