Do we think we'll get a 4th July special update on Monday like a few years ago?

Chinook now confirmed

The Chinook HC.4, based at RAF Odiham, is a firm favourite of airshow crowds as it demonstrates amazing maneuverability for such a large aircraft. The crews will showcase the power, agility and grace of this 15 tonne helicopter to the Air Tattoo on all three show days.

Other confirmations include a Spitfire TR.9 from the Boutlbee Academy, which will be taking part in the flying display on Saturday and Sunday, as well as a mix of aircraft for the static line up. These include an Army Air Corps Apache, Belgian F-16AM and two aircraft from UK manufacturer Britten-Norman, the Islander and Defender. :clap:

People can I ask again, please don't quote the post directly above. It make the whole thread messy and people have mentioned in the past make threads harder to follow.

If anyone will be tracking them coming to RIAT, the Tiger Jet is FA-77

Hi Gary, sorry if sound bit confused but could you clarify what you mean about quoting above. Not long new to FC so haven't acknowledged this rule/request.
Just so I understand for future ref.
Thanks for updates so far!

Back to the thread, this year's RIAT is looking awesome with so many surprises and showstoppers. Morocco is still ongoing, anyone heard any news on these?

I see FIA has(TBC) a USN MH60 listed as well a a US Army CH47D & USAF F16CJ(SP?). Now they would be great additions to the Static at RIAT

According to Lockheed Martins Twitter they are showcasing an F-16 ?
