RIAT 2020 Cancelled

[Campbell89]

Do we think that the updates may start today?

I think they have forgotten about that part of the Airshow.

Hang on, RIAT is an air show? Here was me thinking it was part fun fair and part dinner party hosted on an air field!

[James Cutting]

I must have missed that part too, damnit!

We're very excited to share with you that, subject to operational tasking, we are hopeful the UK F-35B Lightning and new RAF P-8A Poseidon will appear at this summer's Air Tattoo, representing the airshow's two themes for 2020; Fast Jet Combat Air Power and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR)

hopeful......

hopeful......

RIAT is just hinged off hope

Nice to see a theme too!

yeah i agree, the themes are promising

I am living in hope that last years tour to the USA and Canada by the reds will bare a fair bit of fruit from our friends across the pond in these following aircraft;
A-10 flying
E-6b
C-5
Kc-46
B-2 static
Ac-130
I have my fingers crossed any one of those aircraft lands at Fairford i will be quite happy .

Ticket discounts extend until 10th February.

Probably a slow uptake, with nothing actually confirmed officially, just a few maybes.

Fingers crossed there's a decent announcement this coming week to help them boost their sales...

New RIAT website, the .com is down.

https://www.airtattoo.net/

According to an email they've just sent out, this is only a temporary situation and the .com site should be back soon. The .net is only a back up for situations such as this outage

Danish Challenger for static and special scheme F-16 for the flying display confirmed today by DBH

great news

[Gary]

The Danish F-16 is a great addition

German Navy appears to have confirmed Sea Lynx and P-3C for the static line up

Naval Aviation will add to what will certainly be a great line up. We intend to participate at RNIAD with our #SEALYNX + #P3C. The same aircraft are planned for RIAT Fairford. The #NH90 will have to wait until 2021... @deutschemarine #Marineflieger #flynavy @bundeswehrInfo https://t.co/pIb269123C

[Flightech]

Apparently someone said Belgian f16 is flying again, which is great. Anyone know what that information came from as nothing on their website

[MRTT]

Vador self confirmed in a reply to a comment on Instagram a few weeks back, I believe.

[Gary]

Luckily the Belgian national day fall after RIAT this time so unlikely their participants won't depart early.

The Patrouille Suisse just self confirmed on their Facebook page

[James Cutting]

Always a cracking display

[jasonT1981]

Fantastic, one of my favourite displays from 2017.
