Oh I know

For me, RIAT is more about the experience. Sitting back in the grandstand and Pimms with everyone and enjoying the weekend. I'm more than happy with whats been announced/Self confirmed already.

Then again, I could watch Cessna's display and be happy lol.

Was a little worried about RIAT this year but with everything they've confirmed and all the rumours its set to be another great year!

Second that (FRIAT not Pimms, but Pimms is also a good drink!! )

[The Cat]

Of course it's always a good show but we're in the 'nervous wondering' stage like every year

[paddyboy]

Just sit back, relax, enjoy the best air-display still available in the UK

What's not to like

Peeps have worked the bums off to get you lot who can go yet another fantastic show

If you don't like the bill of fare, give your ticket to someone who will thoroughly enjoy it

Better stop now, before I self-immolate

[James Cutting]

Couldn't agree more Paddy

There just needs to be much more positivity on this thread and at the end of the day, as said before, it's down to you as an individual to enjoy the whole weekend.

[Campbell89]

First time going for me and I can’t wait. Personally I think the line up looks great so far, however I’d be happy with just the harriers and the flanker!

[James Cutting]

You'll enjoy every second trust me!

[timb]

Couldn,t agree more paddyboy, I went to every Greenham, bar one, all Fairfords and Boscombes. Always an excellent day [or in recent years , days !] Are some better than others -obviously ! Has there ever been a disappointing one ? Certainly not yet !

[Red-Eye-Knight]

I could not agree more with what others have said it's always a good day out, sure some things getting cancelled and the weather at times cannot be helped but for the airshow we do get it's pretty dam spectacular and this year looks to be one of the best from the lineup so far.

I for one cannot wait to go, 12 weeks tomorrow I leave for 5 days of wonderful aircraft watching just hope the weather is like last year and no aircraft call offs and it should be a cracker of an airshow.

[CGM]

Couple of new additions today.

From RIAT website: "Today we can confirm more fast jet action! The Swedish Air Force will be displaying their JAS-39 Gripen with one aircraft in the flying line up and one aircraft on the ground in the static display. We can also confirm a PC-9M Swift from Slovenia and another German Air Force EF2000 from TLG 71, both on static display."

The Polish Navy have also self confirmed an M28B-1R for Static according to Flightline UK on Facebook.

Nice update that, like the Gripen, nice to see a Finnish one

[Zonan]

It's a Swedish one
The Finnish will send their F-18

[jasonT1981]

I think Thursday's update might be Finnish..... And they had half a mind on that when writing the Gripen Press release!

Oh...According to their Facebook post it was a Finnish one...

Must be their typo as on the site it says Swedish - Happy either way!

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Nice update today (or should I say yesterday just saw the time) Gripen is always a good display and you can usually bet on the Swedish attending

More added to the static is always welcome just hope the Typhoons from Germany will have some kind of colour scheme or tail, will be good to see the PC-9 up close nice little aircraft and the display pilot puts on a very polished display.
