Flying one's will op. from Mildenhall bud. As its a demo not a display i dont think it requires validation but could be wrong on that.

I had an email from RIAT saying the same, but also had the Osprey listed as flying on the Friday. I assume mistake as still listed on main site as flying Sat/Sun.

The F35B's that are coming are they all USMC or are the RAF bringing any? Plus is any going on static or is it the "Airfix" plastic mock up again?

Lithuanian C27 Spartan now on participation list.
The list for Friday flying is not the full list yet, it 'includes' the items mentioned yesterday, the display is four hours long...

Lithuanian C-27 was added last month, not a new addition!

I'm sure I read that the Osprey is flying on the Friday as part of the demo with the KC-130J.

Ignore me, I'm getting my wires crossed. KC-130J is flying with the F-35 on the Friday.

Looking forward to the BAE Typhoon all fully loaded as never seen it display.
Is the display any good compared to say the RAF?

Does it actually say anywhere it will be 'tooled up'? If so, where?
