On the 2nd of September six Su-27 of “Russian Knights” and five Mig-29 of “Strizhi” will take off for the airbase “Krymsk” to take a part in “Gidroaviasalon-2006″ air salon, Gelendzhik

Both teams will stay on the “Krymsk” a/b from 2nd till 12 of September. During the air salon both teams will perform the “big nine” program – 5 Su-27 and 4 Mig-29. Program starts from the Dmitriy Koposov‘s (Strizhi) solo flight, afterwords comes the “big nine” and program goes as usual. In addition, Russian Knights are going to demonstrate own 6 planes formation program.

Nikolay Dyatel will perform on the show as flight control officer.

24th of August Kubinka will demonstrate united and separate aerobatic flights of “Strizhi” and “Russian Knights” teams for the Finland Air Force Command delegation.

Strizhi aerobatic team will not participate on the CIAF 2006 in Brno.

Strizhi team members are very upset about this issue, unfortunatelly this decision was made by the reasons beyond the control of the team.

Nikolay Dyatel has successfully passed all the necessary medical surveys (after his ejection from Mig-29UB tail no. 01) and now is qualified for the flights. Still, he will not participate in demo flight in front of Finland Air Force Command on 24th of August.
