[HERO]

So close, yet so hard to schedule. But nothing beats the raw power of the Zhuhai Airshow live.

Is it really necessary to constantly post random stupid boasting post like this?
You only post bombastic comments withount any conent or contribution to the topic!

That's really annoying ...

At least they dont charge you for those，isnt it?
This is a public military forum where everyone can speak freely. It is not a Germany-only intelligence gathering agency, so there’s no need for such strict formality.

Thank you for that open and honest reply, and yes, it is a free forum where everyone is free to express their opinion (thankfully).

I’m also aware that I’m often criticised here as a humourless German and a data collector… in that respect, our interests differ, although both are valid.

My point is simply – and this is just my own personal opinion – that a forum is for exchanging ideas; that includes opinions, technical and operational aspects, all sorts of things … but when someone simply never contributes anything other than comments like that, then – at least from my point of view – it’s just annoying!

So, is the show on schedule or to be delayed? Eagerly waiting for the show this time.

So, is the show on schedule or to be delayed? Eagerly waiting for the show this time.

December 7 to December 13, 2026

This is the currently confirmed date.

Previously, it was postponed to this time due to the APEC meetings.

Preparations by all parties are now underway, and there will be no further changes to the schedule.

And it seems the initial preparations are under way?

I just checked the old 2024 Zhuhai Airshow thread and noticed, the first aircraft - AFAIR correctly a Y-20 - arrived on 4th November aka 8 days before the show opened on 12th … so if this year there is a similar time in advance, I hope to see the first whatever aircraft to arrive on the weekend 29th/30th November or in about two weeks!

Keep finders crossed.

Inside the main exhibition halls, various pieces of equipment have already begun to arrive.

As for the outdoor exhibition area, that will take a bit more time.

I expect that—due to the airspace restrictions imposed for APEC security requirements—this will certainly not happen until after APEC concludes.
