A handful of cancellations in the form of the Czech L-159, French Alpha Jets and Royal Navy Avenger too. I suppose we've done pretty well to get to this point without having any cancellations.

It's on the RIAT website.

Today we are pleased to confirm a large number of static aircraft from Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway.
The Royal Netherlands Air Force has confirmed the C-130H, F-16 AM/BM, CH-47D Chinook, Do-228 and an AH-64D Apache.
Also in attendance from the Royal Norwegian Air Force is the fantastic F-16.
The Royal Danish Air Force has confirmed that the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the C-130J will be on static display at this year's Air Tattoo.

I have an idea lets have a RIAT without any static aircraft would that make you happy ? Sick to the back teeth of "Enthusiasts" complaining about items being on static only. Some of us enjoy arrivals and walking around looking at rare different aircraft from around the world.

What the hell? The poor bloke said he was happy to see them, calm down.

Wind your neck in mate, I'm NOT moaning that they are on static, I am saying it is a bummer that they are on static because it would be nice to see them fly as well. HOWEVER, as I stated, I am happy to see them nonetheless. Why don't you read before you comment?

Remember, before Thatcher we had homes for these people...

[Redflag17]

Whose Thatcher?

[seven]

Either that sort that somehow got voted in, or a badass cider.

No comparison really..

[Nighthawke]

If that's a serious question, first British woman Prime Minister 1979-1990.

I think Redflag is pointing out my spelling error!

Anyway back on topic, very good update. The more F-16s the merrier.

RIAT have said 90% of Saturday tickets now sold

USAF F-16 in the Farnborough Flying Display, This is on official website, fingers crossed he might want some practice air time the week before over Fairford.

[adimale1981]

The early bird ticket prices have gone so pleased to see the updates flowing. I reckon there's over 150 planes confirmed now and more to come.

Looking like a most excellent air show. Can't wait to be part of it

[C-Harvey]

Our post person delivered my ticket yesterday. Gud ennit?
