Spanish AV-8's at Farnborough this year? Italian F-35 at Kleine Brogel two weeks back. Best bet for F-4's is South Korea or Japan as you're most unlikely to see a Greek or Iranian one around here. Certainly potential for Ukraine SU25 and Pakistan JF17...but if they don't come to the UK, then gotta go to their place! :)

Any particular reason why we wouldn't see a Greek F-4 here? They've attended in recent times.

I see people are still blaming the organisers for no-shows. They do ask but if countries decline or cancel it is not the organisers' fault.

Unfortunately mate, as you saw in the RIAT Discussion thread this year, lots of people try to point the blame at anyone. It always seems to be the organisers fault, when DBH actually do a fantastic job every year. But you cannot please everyone. 2018 was an absolutely brilliant weekend and I will be going again next year (whenever FRIAT gets emailed out!!)

Sadly the global economic situation, combined with current political tensions with Russia, I think that RIAT 2019 will probably very much resemble RIAT 2018.

Sure we might get some minor changes in participation, but I wouldn't expect to see any spectacular changes.

Personally I think for me, just seeing active Tornado's in the UK skies again will be enough - after all for us that will then be a thing of the past.

Just fewer display teams for me, although what would I do for a toilet break??

Very true and now I've quite drinking alcohol there should be fewer toilet breaks required.. If we end up with the great war display team again I may have to reassess the non alcoholic policy again though.. :whistle: :whistle:

F22
B1
B2 Based rather than just a fly-by
B52- I know they've been over lot's but living where I do it's a bit of a trek

TU95 - Wishful thinking again
Lots of Tonka's doing a cracking farewell send-off

An F4 phanthom would be a dream having never seen one display also a iskra as they are starting to be retired and of course a mig 21 would be nice after this years unfortunate cancellation.
