Interesting comment from this weeks update; "We still have a number of flying display participants who we're awaiting to get the final paperwork in place, ready for the show in July, and we expect to be announcing them over the next three Thursdays right up to RIAT25!". if these will be fresh announ...

I used to buy my tickets with no idea of what was going to display until i bought a programme. that was the old days. so they trickle the confirmations each week so we have something to look forward to each week until the final week, they can't confirm most of the heavy metal until around 4-6 weeks ...

Abingdon are in discussions to have some of the Kings Birthday Flypast to be included in the afternoons events, more will be known closer to the date. this information is direct from the official show page on facebook. potentially that could mean most of the Heavy content returning to Brize and prob...

not sure if it's already been mentioned but if my maths hasn't let me down, i counted 29 Hawks at the show, that's fantastic.

There is a Patch being shown on the RIAT Fan Page showing this years design for the RC-135 Rivet Joint with RIAT 24 at the bottom of the patch. The unit responsible for the patch is listed as the 95th Recon Squadron. if you google the Sqn on Ebay you will see a photo of the patch, wonder how far in ...

Tickets being sent out by Friday 17th May according to email. Tickets We will be sending out your RIAT24 tickets a little earlier this year. You should receive an email by Friday 17 May with a link to download them (please don't forget to check your junk/spam folder, just in case). Within the body ...

I remember the 2000 show at Cosford.
Teams were coming out to perform fast taxi's past the crowd.
Then the Patri Swiss decided to do a Formation Sincro fast taxi past, Brilliant, everyone was trying to do their bit to keep going

I went thu/fri/sat. Thurs was very good, well worth the wait until 7 to see the F-4 arrive. Friday I gave up at 1 and returned to the hotel to watch Wimbledon, Thoroughly enjoyed the saturday show, in the C,P. by 6.45 and in the showground by 8.30, so not to bad. Awesome dislays by the Belgian FI6 ...

French Navy is flashing green now as well.

Interesting that the U.S. Navy and Indian Air Force are showing ongoing.
How many more Thursday's will they be using for announcements. Will it go right up to the 6th July.

The Tanker flypasts look set to be fantastic, and spread over all three days.
Agree that the up and coming USAF updates will reveal more super additions.
Well done RIAT, keep em coming.

Reading in Flypast that two Starfighters from Starfighters Aerospace are being sent over from the USA for the Italian 100th Anniversary airshow at Pratica di Mare. Quoted as already on their way shipbound to Europe. Show is on 16-18th June. Wonder if there is any chance of them making an appearance ...

RIAT have also confirmed the attendance of 9 Aircraft so fingers crossed for business as usual this year.

Spanish Navy is flashing, could we hope for Harriers this year.

Lets start with a big one. why not confirm the F22 team as the opener, that would be excellent. (I can dream)

I always went to the show on the Sunday, way before the Friday flying was introduced. Always watched the feedback from those that went and it seems 50/50 and definitely an individual preference on why you would choose to do so. I decided to try out the Friday show last year for the first time. I nor...

The 2023 dates have been posted by Flightline UK on Twitter. Very sketchy as it doesn't disclose the Aircraft type committed but does leave a space during the RIAT weekend for a Overseas Show.
Fingers crossed for some more solid and positive news in the spring.

Looks like the Flying element of the show has been scaled back further this year, maybe tougher rules due to the ever encroaching hosing going up all around the immediate area of the airfield. There are quite a few items now going live on the FIA website including the Black Eagles performing a Flypa...

That's very helpful, many thanks guys.
Think I saw listed that the Swedish items are arriving on Friday so it would be nice to know in advance when these were coming in. If they still produce a timing sheet that would be fantastic.

On the same issue of arrival timing, I am going in this year for the first time on Friday. is there advance warning of arrivals or are they announced as they enter the circuit. Also, is there a specific time that they come in, ie, Morning or afternoon. Would be helpful if someone who has been in on ...
