We received the following from people close to the organization:

The Bulgarian Air Force will participate in the flying display with MiG 29 and PC 7; in the static display - with MiG 21, SU 22; SU 25; helicopters : Cugar, Mi 17, Mi 24 and Bell.

Apparently this listing does not iclude operational aircraft only (the Su-22 was retired in 2004)

No one can tell exactly what aircraft will participate. Su-22 is retired and most of aircraft is scraped. Only two left and they are privet. MiG-29 and PC-9M probably will fly. Mi-17, Mi-24, Cougar's and Bell 206 are based on same airfield, so they shoud be on static display. Su-25 is still on active service but aircraft won't participate. In end of March will be more info.
