A list dated 5th March 2013 has been placed at the www.lima.com.my website, at:
http://lima.com.my/GUI/pdf/LIMA%2713List-of-Aircrafts.pdf
The following aircraft are on the List:
Extra 300-L (Kris Sakti)
Su-30 MKM (RMAF)
MiG-29N (RMAF Smokey Bandits)
Rafale
Typhoon
F/A- 18F
Gripen
KT-1B (TNI Jupiter aerobatic team)
C-17 (USAF)
F-16 (USAF)
Dornier 228-212 NG.
So, what's new, displaying at LIMA?
1) Gripen
2) KT-1Bs of the Jupiter aerobatic team
What is still not officially up?
The Russian Knights display team
Whatever it is, there is a nice collection of fighter aircraft vying for the MiG-29 replacement contract.
There are also 3 display teams (the Smokey Bandits, Kris Sakti and Jupiter), and hopefully the Russians will round up the fourth.
It is so interesting that such a few types of aircraft are replacing so many other types- it will make the sheer variety of classic airplanes a memory of the past.
Now all we need worry about is the weather.
