I’d be more inclined to say the 3am tomorrow will be for Paris & the other 8am on Saturday a mission. I believe Paris public days are Friday to Sunday so they’d need I’m parked up ready for public when gates open & France are an hour ahead of us.

Good update, shame about the Turkish display team. Maybe they can send some phantoms instead, chuck in some extra USAF stuff as mentioned & it’ll be a cracking show.

I think we’re all hoping for some USAF participation in tomorrows update

Good photos, nice to see from 27 end. I was on the piano keys at 09 & the 2nd take off nearly blew my ear drums!

Guessing tomorrow am for any movements on b-1’s

Anyone know if any mig-21 in service still with Croatia or any other air arm? Su-22’s will do if not

They will be gone by RIAT, never known a bomber to stay for the show & gives the opportunity for the other air crew to get to the UK.

At this point I’d say they’d do a mission 1st then arrive, in which case purely depends on exercise start date for their involvement. You could be in for a long wait if you were to go tomorrow, I’ll be waiting to see the pattern for flying.

Technically speaking they can arrive upto next Friday & still be in time for their exercise

Is asking for a pair of Turkish phantoms aswell too much? I would definitely have to say that’d be best RIAT in years. Indian air force SU-30MKI’s looked good at the Greek exercise

Guessing that'll be in the normal parking spots?

They should be here by Monday

About time the raf had a f-35b on static aswell, well done RIAT

Awesome update phantoms & tornados I’m very happy now

Going through the list of confirmed aircraft, I always plan what am I going to take photos off & it still is lacking that RIAT feel at the moment. Not the wow factor!
All these exercises might be the way forward I think, they certainly have some rare aircraft.

Guessing it’ll just be a flypast then?

Thank you for that, I’d be amazed if it actually turned up. I didn’t know rules had changed & was pretty sure the CAA were adamant that complex aircraft like this could not operate over land.

Ground crew probably already in if they’re due within next 2 weeks

Big update might be a bit far fetched but considering they have so many assets deployed in European theatre during RIAT i’m sure we might have more than last years line up.

Personally want to see a line of f-35’s from different nations will be a 1st & a phantom of any country is what we all want!

2 f-15’s & 2 f-35’s & 2 f-16’s plus maybe some assets in Europe at the time will be good enough for me, I wouldn’t write off the usaf as it is there base.
