Probably can't trust the weather to be cloudy for Thunder Tiger, so best to wear dark sunglasses to get maximum effect from the * 'Carrot'James Cutting wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 10:10 amThe Polish F-16 display at Leszno is unbelievable, they have hugely improved and he seriously flew this like he stole it! https://www.youtube.com/live/udjbpwx7Xp ...

Loads of posts regarding this have been deleted.Supra wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 2:19 pmReally??? Assuming no Posts have been deleted, I see no 'nasty' comments? You can/maybe have reported the issue to the Moderating Team & they will/have sort it.
From the comments I can see, Forum Members have clearly & patiently explained the futility of agitation over when the USAF will commit something/anything to RIAT 2024.

has subsequently clarified the situation regarding previous posts. 
You don't need knowledge to do that, just scroll down each page to see how many times the staff have said that they've tidied up the thread. They must be sick to the back teeth of having to do it.
Interesting that the badge is joint US/UK flag background which could be just hinting to RIAT 2024 being in the UK, but maybe hinting towards the joint co-operation in training and using the TC-135, which is over quite regular and would make an interesting RIAT visitor? Just a speculative thought to stoke the rumour mill.quid21 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2024 8:56 pmI saw a patch on Ebay the other day for the 55th Wing and RC-135 at RIAT - haven't seen any USAF stuff announced yet, but perhaps that is a teaser.....?

Have a look at the website then get back here if you have any more questions. Best routes and car parks depends on starting point.
This week we have received the formal approval for the first of our United States Air Force aircraft which will be on static display at RIAT 2024. The highlight for most aviation enthusiasts will likely be the final appearance of the KC-10 Extender on static display, which will be supporting the deployment of two F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 93rd Fighter Squadron ""Makos"" to join our Viper Line. Other USAF 'heavies' include the C-17 and KC-46, both of which are planned to be open for public to view onboard during the show. Coming from RAF Mildenhall we have a KC-135, MC-130J and RC-135, the latter of which we haven't see at RIAT for a number of years. In addition we've also got a C-21 coming from Ramstein Air Base. The majority of these US DOD aircraft will be parked at the western end of the airfield so only viewable on Saturday & Sunday. We have a few more American aircraft expected, pending final paperwork approvals, so hope to provide a further update in the coming weeks.
Visitors on Friday will have the chance to witness the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team dropping into RIAT to open the Friday flying display. They'll be jumping from a C-17 Globemaster, which will then be landing ready for its appearance on static display on Saturday & Sunday.
Another flying display addition this week, as part of our Centennial celebrations for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Coming from The Fighter Collection at Duxford, we've got a Supermarine Spitfire Vb wearing the colours of 402 Squadron RCAF, which will be flying on Saturday & Sunday. The plan for this aircraft is to perform a 'heritage formation' alongside the CF-188 Hornet.
Also this week we add three aircraft to the static displays, provided by their manufacturers. The Gulfstream G700 and King Air B300 will be parked in the central 'showcase' area, and the Grob 120TP will be parked alongside other training aircraft on static display.
