From a malaysian aviation-forum:

"Smokey Bandits unlikely to perform any more. RMAF is trying to reserve as many flight hour as possible, only for military ops or major air exercise like the recent Cope Taufan 2014 with USAF."

Not that it is the most interesting item but it's strange that the Rafale demo is still not listed. The latest update on the LIMA website is from January 20th! Also the Thai Air Force (both the JAS-39 demo as well as the Blue Phoenix team was rumoured) are still not on the list. With a possible order for 36 new fighters I can't imagine that there will not be a Gripen demo.

Still a great programme though! :)

Greetings, Paul
