Tried an on-line search through various French-language aviation forums and messageboards.
So far I have found no “unofficial” announcements of (possible) participants to the La Ferté-Alais 2012 Meeting Airshow.
And http://www.ajbs.fr ,
more specifically
http://www.ajbs.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=2&Itemid=8&lang=fr ,
does not give any more information other than the sightseeing flights that can be booked.
Anyone know more about the (flying) programme ?

Perhaps this week the programme will finally be put online at
http://ajbs.fr ,
more specifically
http://www.ajbs.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=2&Itemid=8&lang=fr ,
but the un-official list below is rather representative of the final line-up:
Many thanks for the details Stratotanker!
Too bad there will be just one Spit.
Six FW-44 sound impressive though! 😮

Two tickets already booked for me and my grandfather. I think his eyes will sparkle when he sees again several of the Spitfires he used to pamper during his apprenticeship in the UK (Ouston) just after WWII…
Any news about the programme of the show?

…..- 2 x Skyraiders……
Let’s hope there are still 2 at the end of the weekend, and not 1 3/4 😮
There are usually some pointy grey noisy French things (Rafales or some such) there as well.

Normally TFC sent one or two of their aircraft over their to display so you could possibly add that to your list.

If last year is anything to go by, I wouldn’t expect an official list until nearer the time. If I remember correctly, participants were revealed on the AJBS website over several months in 2010. I *think* 2011 was different in that rather than drip feeding information, a full list was published a month or so before the event.
I’ll be heading out there for the first time this year, staying in a nearby holiday apartment for six days. Looking forward to it.:D
