Spanish EF2000 C-16 solo display confirmed!

[luke28]

Cracking addition, not quite clear if its flying or static though?

Flying I believe, solo displays are returning this year! EF-18 is flying at Florennes.

I'd have happily taken static, even better if its flying!

No update today!

I for one am loving the conformation of F-35s and Patrouille Suisse, would it be out of the question for something like Su-30s or Su-35s to attend? Wouldn't mind Mig-29 again either.

I've said it once, but I'll say it again. More chance of a Vulcan/Hunter flypast if I'm honest

Especially a Bulgarian Mig-29!

The Textron Scorpion is hopefully coming back to RIAT and Farnborough in 2016

Todays update

•Greece's Hellenic Air Force is planning to send its largest contingent of aircraft to the Royal International Air Tattoo for more than a decade. The air arm is sending two McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantoms for static display while Demo Team Zeus, flying the Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 52+ Fighting Falcon, will make a welcome return to the flying display after making its UK display debut at the Air Tattoo in 2015.

[Gary]

Very nice additions been too long since we saw the Greek Phantoms

[grogresaurus77]

I'm so psyched for that! Hopefully the F-16 display is better than last year and I've never seen an F-4 so can't wait to get those 2 on the arrivals day!

[edgely66]

Cracking addition with the Phantoms from Greece, thought the f16 display was good last year

[Andy T]

Brilliant news! Didn't get to RIAT last year so it will be good to see the F-16 display.
