 We have begun communicating with Austrian Joint Forces Command who plan to send an aircraft for static display at RIAT 2020. We will bring you more news once the details are formally confirmed.
Fingers crossed for a Typhoon! Although I get my hopes up every year!

A couple of Austrian Alouettes would suit me

While no aircraft confirmed as such, I am enjoying these new style updates. :)

It's really good to see detailed news and actually acknowledging things reported on social medias i.e. German Navy the other week :D

Just been told the Spanish will return all their Harriers. Sorry if that's already been posted earlier. Hope it's true!

Was thinking exactly the same, seems a more informal approach which although no aircraft have actually been confirmed we are still being kept in the loop.
Top marks. :thumbs:

Did they keep their receipt then if they are returning them all?? :P

Think they announced it the other week mate:
We were very pleased to hear from 9 Squadron, Spanish Navy, this week. They enjoyed their experience at RIAT 2019 and hope to return with their Matador II jets to the Air Tattoo again this year. We are currently continuing communication with them and hope to bring you more good news in the coming weeks.

I've been told elsewhere this is just their domestic schedule for Italian shows, and international dates will be released soon.

At the end of January you were only hoping a KC-46 would attend, now you suspect one will, have you had an epiphany? 😂
