I am sure I heard a rumour that they may be bringing Vera over for the anniversary, anyone else heard this?

Hi all,
Bought my tickets for me and the missus earlier than normal. Three days in the show and P&V days also. Can't wait to get back to Kempsford

Is there any reasoning why the Early Bird tickets are now allocated by number and not timescale now, previously I have waited till after Christmas to purchase without any problems.

They have "simplified" things.Sparky 119 wrote:Is there any reasoning why the Early Bird tickets are now allocated by number and not timescale now, previously I have waited till after Christmas to purchase without any problems.
"We have also simplified our Super Earlybird (£45) and Earlybird (£50) discount which no longer end on a specific date but will change after a set number of tickets are sold. This means that we will, during the year, be selling tickets in different price bands at the same time which we believe offers a better choice of discounted tickets for anyone looking to attend this amazing 'one off' Air Tattoo."

The Canadian CF-188 have self confirmed via a live stream from the US for both Yeolvilton and RIAT
The US Demo teams starting to release schedules. Early indications no US demos

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
No US Demos have explicitly said "yes" but some notable ones have gaps in schedule coinciding with RIAT.
Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
F-22, F-16 and A-10 all have gaps in their schedules.....
fingers crossed for the latter!!

Wouldn't it be great if their support was a CC-115 before they're retired in favour of C.295sGary wrote:The Canadian CF-188 have self confirmed via a live stream from the US for both Yeolvilton and RIAT

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
Just to show how everyone is different, most definitely not. I've seen all the CC-115s. I'd prefer a gap-filling CC-130J please....Freeman Lowell wrote:Wouldn't it be great if their support was a CC-115 before they're retired in favour of C.295sGary wrote:The Canadian CF-188 have self confirmed via a live stream from the US for both Yeolvilton and RIAT

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
Mildly off topic but why do the Canadian aircraft often have an extra number on the end as well as the C at the start (Which I'm fairly confident would be for Canada...)?

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
It's official, latest from DBH:
We are very pleased to be able to announce the first participant for the 2018 Air Tattoo - all the way from Canada!
We have received official confirmation from the Royal Canadian Air Force that their CF-18 Hornet Demonstration Team will be flying at the Air Tattoo in July. The 2018 CF-18 Hornet team's theme will be the 60th anniversary of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), whilst simultaneously joining in the RAF100 celebrations at RAF Fairford.
Come and witness this rarely seen aircraft in the sky at what promises to be the biggest Air Tattoo for many years.
Cheers
