Forgot to mention I have arthritis in both knees.

But I am 64 and how are you walking 15 miles?

Great Air Show. Weather cloudy but very little rain. My USAF did not let me down, but I wish they were not at the far end of the runway. I must have walked 2 miles that Saturday back and forth. It is nice to see other countries aircraft which we do not get to see at airshows in the states. The only ...

No B-1s unless they arrive at the last minute.

Does the RAF or any British Miliary branch have an AC-130 Gunship or any similar type aircraft?

I have been to many air shows in my time and the only aircraft I have not seen up close and personal which I hoped would be at this air show is the AC-130 Gunship.

It would have been nice if USAF planes from the Pacific Air Command (PACAF) would have shown up. Oh well.

So far weather looking good for Saturday 7/20/24.

I did not know any country still flies the F-4 phantoms. The USAF replaced them with the F-16s a long time ago.

Mike N back. USAF better late than never. USAFE, Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty Detachments.

Since some don't like some of my posts I will no longer be making any more comments on this board.

Still no U.S Air Force for flying or static display. Getting worried

The Air Force Air Mobility Command need to put on their big boy pants (what you call trousers) and show up. With an airshow of this size, I do not see the US Air Force not sending any aircraft. The United States Air Force In Europe (USAFE) still has F-16s in Germany and Italy, F15s and F35s at Laken...

Air Force Reserve transport and tanker aircraft are part of the Air Mobility Command (AMC). The Air Mobility Command is a Major Command that has Active Duty aircraft and Reserve aircraft. I retired from the Air Force Reserves at March Air Reserve Base in California which is a Reserve base with C-17 ...

Has the U.S Air Force Thunderbirds every performed at the RIAT?

I hope they have a flying schedule handed out at the gate, or it is in the program that you have to buy. Does any know how much the program costs?

OK. Sticking to the 2024 RIAT. Does anyone know if the British Army or Marines will send any aviation units?

Air Shows in the states also make you go through metal detectors and bag searches. They also make you show your ID because most of the air shows are on military bases, so security is tight. These are done by military security police.

The official name of the F-16 is the Fighting Falcon. I like this name better than the Viper. Just my opinion.

Does the British Marines fly any planes?
