"All flights have been cancelled today because of showers", Mr. Novikov said. The tickets bought for today will be valid tomorrow, he added.
The Saturday flight program included performances of flying groups on MiG-29, MiG-AT, Su-30MKI planes.
Also scheduled for Saturday was the performance of Italian flying group Freccie Tricolori and French pilots on Mirage-2000 planes.
An earlier thunderstorm also cancelled flights.
On Friday Italians and the Russian Knights group performed before a vast audience. Frequent applause and cheers of approval accompanied their pirouettes.
The feature of Russian Knights is that it is the only aerobatics group on heavy fighters, Su-27. The total weight of the six fighters is 150 tons, with total wing span over 75 meters. Their performance is a captivating sight.
World aerobatics champions ROSTO parachutists also were in the air demonstrating individual and group jumps from a helicopter.
The Russian Independent Association of Radio-Controlled Sports staged an aerobatics festival of aircraft models.
No matter what the weather, the exhibition of aviation and cosmonautics badges and souvenirs (over 6,000) is being held during the flying groups festival.
The International Flying Groups Festival closes on Sunday.
