YEREVAN. - The Russian Knights pilot team canceled their show in

As reported earlier, the team stopped in Yerevan on their way to
Bahrain air show.
Talking to Armenian reporters, Commander Andrey Alekseyev stated with
regret that weather conditions did not meet requirements to perform
a training flight.
The group will spend the night in Yerevan before heading to Bahrain
where the Russian Knights will display the new program prepared last
fall. The air show will be held from 16 to 18 January
"We failed to see Yerevan because of the weather. I hope it will be
possible in the future," said Alekseyev.
The group will go back via Yerevan again on January 20.
In response to reporters' attempts to find out whether the air show
will be held on the way back, chief of the Russian base at Erebuni
Alexander Petrov said that the most important show is the fact of
the arrival of aerial display team.
"You can see Su -27, one of the world's best aircrafts in terms of its
technical capabilities. The world's aerial display team is in Yerevan.
This is important," he said.
Popov noted that it would be even better to invite the Russian Knights
for a show to Yerevan in the future.
