Looking great so far, hope a mig-29, f-4 & f-22 turns up. If so I’d say it’ll be one hell of a show!

I don't think you'll be getting any of those unfortunately

Tffiys with IRGC Kill markings would be a treat

Somebody will tell the Daily Mail and we'll never have RIAT again

Nighthawk Demo self confirmed according to their socials !!!

Edit : alas it too be a spoof after some deep digging, but their has been rumours of it making an appearance since the US revised their testing and training unit with them ?

I'd say that's a hard no

I’ve seen that the blue angel’s schedule has RIAT weekend free, could we potentially see those over here? Always wanted to see them so fingers crossed

I'm sure I've seen that the fly to close together to display in the UK and maybe europe as well

So probably a no

Upper Heyford, Bentwaters, Sculthorpe - all stuff that dreams are made of. Indeed, Upper Heyford is gradually disappearing, the former domestic site is now largely demolished and there's new housing estates going up in their place. It's gone way past the point of return, in terms of it being an act...

Take cash as last year loads had trouble due to lack orlf WiFi connections and poor signal

I was hoping that there would be announcement of special powers to stop oil protesters........lethal and non lethal with it being a mikitary site

Hopefully get some form of confirmation from the US Navy today :thumb: Bordering on the wishlist; wonder if we'll get the Air Defender scheme A400M and Tornado in their refueling demo? Fingers crossed :thumb: Can only imagine it being a P8 .......unless a carrier appears on the south coast .......its

Hoping that the July 4th update will yield US air national guard tankers.

What's to day they'll even be a July 4th announcement

Is this update instead of Thursdays or in addition to it? It seems an additional, but I guess the next Thursday update will be a bit underwhelming compared to this one. (But that’s not criticism at all) Wait for it .......b2 bomber on a global power mission being refuelled by the kc135 whilst being...

Think they were announcements right up to the show last year , happy to be corrected

Valid point, and there's defo always a place for them in the static, but flying nah. Cosford is much more suitable venue. And flares are an option too!

Yeovilton better.......

Tuesday 20th September
ZZ102 EH101 WHE03 43C7DD Seen on ADSBEx flying in the state of Colorado (USA) today.
Departed via Southampton docks 8th August.

Why is it out there?

Altitude testing perhaps

From an earlier post

two bagged Merlins are likely to be ZR342 and ZR347 [4K-Ai010], however confirmation of this is required. Report suggested that the two actually arrived by road, which would make this untrue.

They arrived some time ago , pre covid ....Still unconfirmed

There was some sort of flying display by a Merlin HM2 on Friday morning last week just after 8am. I did think it was unusual. I didn't notice what flags were flying at the main gate- that's often a give away. The crews that disembarked were wearing all white flying suits - something I've not notice...

Was this a northern chap who had brought a Czech albatross and flysheet it out of Blackpool?

Those have glass f16s are stunning
