Hoping for a September / October 2020 so we still get one decent air show this year although I fear you’re correct.

Coningsby just started

Judging by ADSB Valley, Shawbury, Mildenhall, Brize Norton and Cranwell are all flying or have flown today.

I may be wrong but in the case of the F-35 I think the helmets and therefore masks are bespoke to each pilot?

F15 one was on a few weeks back. Decent programme.

Thanks for the advice guys hopefully see some action Tuesday!

Thanks, in the event that the is no space is it literally a case of parking in whelsford / kempsford and getting a jog on?

I’m planning on coming down next Tuesday providing we’re not all on house-arrest. I’ve been looking at a few viewing guides and it appears the 27 end runway near Whelsford is the best location for spotting but looking at google maps it seems there is no parking at all around that area, all double ye...

Judging from the Fairford Bomber deployment threads, two B2’s overflow Warton today. Did anyone get a glimpse?

Pink? I saw it as green and brown

New is not quite the right word as they are the original AH-64D's reworked to AH-64E standard. And to keep the number crunchers happy they will re-appear with "new" serials. Are they existing UK aircraft that are being reworked or are they 50 additional aircraft? If additional, are they ex US models?

I think its pretty much nailed on that RIAT will be cancelled given what's happening in other countries regarding large gathering etc. Personally i cannot envisage a situation where Germany Spain Italy etc send aircrews to the show. Even thought 90% is open air there are various choke point re queu...

It may have already been posted and I’ve missed it, but are MISTY12/13 B2’s?

Royal Navy has announced an F-35B will flypast as PoW departs.

Was looking forward to the Hind being announced

It doesn’t like heat? Wuhan is hardly Antarctica... If we follow a similar process that a number of other countries are in cancelling / temporarily banning events or gatherings of more than 1,000 people then it is inevitable RIAT will be cancelled. Don’t get me wrong I’m still getting tickets and pl...

Think you are being abit cruel saying that a possible appearance by Tom Cruise at this years RIAT is "doom & gloom" !! All those hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world congregating on a few square miles of gloucestshire for a week. Tightly packed in like sardines in a tin!! Wake up...

To be fair, the Wildcat display at Southport was a decent display. They used pyrotechnics in their display but not to the extent of the Apache display.

Don't think the Royal Navy have any yet...

Ah, my bad. I thought 207 Squadron was a Navy Squadron for some unknown reason!

This week we received great news from the Royal Navy. They will be sending examples of all their aircraft types for static display at RIAT 2020!

Static F-35B then?
