RIAT need more 'hardcore' bag-searchers this year. They should be vetted to ensure they understand a credible threat package & ensure they're NOT seeking an LTR? (Long Term Relationship) :whistle: I took all the gear through a regular bag-check & sent my Son through the 'No Bag Line' to sprint to th...

In your extensive experience, is this likely to impact the currently reduced movements even further? As the NOTAM doesn't itself restrict flying op's, can we assume it doesn't?
TIA. Slogen51

Probably see it at La Ferte Alais & Airpower24, Zeltweg then! These days, if it don't come to you ...then you go to it!

“Au contraire mon frère !” It definitely wasn't April 1st when this article was released....https://theaviationist.com/2022/06/10/first-f-35a-in-aggressor-scheme/ :whistle: or https://www.airandspaceforces.com/usaf-new-camouflage-paint-for-f-35-aggressors-doesnt-interfere-with-stealth/ I have seen r...

Edited...Don't go losing your marbles over it................

Worthy of topical applause. Very Good!

.......This has ben seen across the UK and also Elgin [FL] This made me smile a lot! (not as 'Spelling Police') :) Decades back at a Lossiemouth Show I had the Zweibrucken F-4 crew in the same accommodation as myself. They constantly referred to the nearby town as 'EL J IN' as opposed to E G LIN in...

Great shots as normal! All looking good, but those Phantoms are the dog's!

But not all the others! Ever since the British Government stuffed the RAF again, leaving them & NATO with a capability shortfall, these NATO E-3's are committed to full-time operational sorties? When they last came it was pre-Covid & pre-Ukraine. Both valid reasons for nothing happening as-advertise...

From the update: "As we celebrate NATO's 75th Anniversary, we're very pleased to welcome one of their AWACS aircraft to RIAT 2024. The aircraft will be performing a special flypast on Friday" Now, I like to be positive about these things. So my guess is that all the F-16's on the airfield (both of t...

Possibly the single redeeming factor for the magnificent QE. & PoW. aircraft carriers is that some clever dicky designed the Lifts & Hangar Deck aperture dimensions to accommodate a folded MV-22!
Guess the other team were tasked with EMALS & Arrestor Gear?

Very nice! Beautifully lit-up. Still wouldn't mind seeing pic's of the other two?

Quite possibly a few stragglers. If you've followed-up your pending status by emailing your original Registration data linked to your payment transaction Code, they should be able to tie those together easily! :thumbs: If they get stuck, they will email you for clarification /confirmation of payment...

Congratulations to the NTM24 Admin' Team for processing the deluge of Spotter-Days applications. Against all the odds, Banking & some language issues, it appears they've prevailed. I'm personally unaware of anybody that registered before the capacity cut-off who hasn't received their QR. code? Great...

Zero!

Well done for posting these unusual visitors. Great effort given our current weather. An extra hour of operational daylight to play with next week?

In this case jay the army air Corps for security reasons would not appreciate photographs taken on base at wattisham to be posted on the internet please think of security implications before you post any more in future Great shots Jay, I for one appreciate all the effort you have gone to by photo-s...

Thanks Kurnass...Never say never! My thoughts are that India is in a somewhat similar situation to Greece regarding the variety of different types they operate? However with India, the vast airspace they need to protect dictates the need for superior numbers of operational fighter jets & to that end...

This latest fairly obvious statement by the Defence Minister further convinces me that I could do that job! "Greek Defence Minister Nikos Dendias believes that the Greek air force needs greater uniformity and interoperability of its fleet. He said: "We have F-4, Mirage 2000-5, Block 30 F-16, Block 5...

The start & finish times are given in the original info' pack. Just head for the Main Gate & follow the hordes or signage! ;) Definitely worth reading the info' pack as there's a shed-load of items you can & can't take on-base. Clearly, having to remove anything from your bag & return to your vehicl...

Well, that's his aptitude test for the Daily Fail passed with ease!
