Seeing Moroccans and Israeli's are flashing as ongoing presuming we might see something from them?

Any ideas what types we might get? Love to see an Israeli F-15 but thinking might be too much an ask!

I would guess if anything did come from Morocco it might be a transport or Marche Verte display team.. As for the Israeli again I would say a C-130.When they turned up at 2001? They were showing propaganda films in the back of the C-130 ? Lots of gun cam footage of Israeli jets downing Arab aircraft Anything other than the C-130s or Marche Verte would be a bonus

Wouldn't mind seeing the Marche Verte, they're a decent team!

I've heard from various sources that Israeli F-16s, F-15s and C-130s are due at LN for an exercise, I don't know whether this is true or not- really hope so!

Now that would be special to see all those in one place!

On airtattoo website and recent email looks like the KC-130J refuelling demo with F-35B is only on the Friday. Dont think it was listed as Friday only previously?

Hello quick question. I've booked with the new campsite this year and was wondering how close it would be to the base itself ? Would it be a good view if arrivals ?

Thanks

Not being funny mate, but seeing as how it's a new campsite , nobody knows !

I believe they said it was on the site of the old Red car park!

Pretty sure it said "Near to the Red Car Park", the darndest thing is I only deleted that email this morning and cleared out my trash.

Can't find any details on where it is now! I've found the 'service providers' booking page but there's nothing on there (Almost booked 5 nights in the process !.. )

Well you are correct there. However not sure if anyone was in the know so worth asking.

[beefsteak]

As I said, I've been doing a bit of digging for you, but can't find anything more than we know already.

Great stuff If fast jets are your thing then RIAT is looking awesome this year

[SallyBjnr]

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but has the display line been pushed back this year or will it remain the same as last years?

According to Andy 'boff180' who was at the FRIAT forum, no the display line is not changing

I wonder why only the Friday

[luke28]

Yeah I think it was something along the lines of RIAT is governed by MAA rulings, and not the CAA rulings that have caused all the changes, so Fairford isn't affected.

I think that may be a mistake.
As I understand things, the USMC example* will display with the refuelling demo and vertical landing as part of its routine, the USAF example* will display with the heritage flight as part of its routine. Both routines will be flown on all 3 public days as far as I'm aware.

* there will be 2 USMC airframes & 2 USAF airframes - primary & spare, only one of which will fly each day - plus the RAF example which is solely for static if I've read things correctly.
