That's a marmite patch...

Well if you don't like it dont get it

Just a joke, but seems to be the usual response to a negative comment about RIAT on this thread

Fine then!! I won't!!



Seems I'm not the only one

Over twice as many aircraft in static and 40 odd displays with a lot of fast jets so will be noisy at least.lol

I used to go every year but just cant be bothered anymore.Age is catching up with me.

Sad to hear that as the pilot last 2 years gave a very polished display.

Can we expect a final update today?
Does anyone know if they usually do that? It's my first RIAT so idk

Doesn't usually happen. July updates seem to be as and when. Best thing you can do is what I always say I'm going to do and stop looking once it gets to arrivals day so there are some nice surprises when I arrive. As usual though, that lasts five minutes and I end up checking about four RIAT threads and constantly refresh twitter every five minutes so there are absolutely no surprises whatsoever. Apart from the Israeli Herc in 2017.

Just enjoy it!

if it does rain and we have thundershowers nothing will fly right?

[John flightpath]

They may cancel some displays to prevent overrunning of the whole show. But 'thundershowers means you may get 3 or 4 heavy showers during the day that last about 10 mins or so. Just deal with it as it comes.

Enjoy the show

Cheers

I think the German a400m cancelled as on the website it says one static and one for the flypast, when i asked before someone told me its was a support but the single a400m left cant be in the flypast and on static.
Edit: turns out the a400m that left was part of the flypast.

Dry / Wet......lets all grin and make the most of it ! It will still be a good day when we look back.

[hernaman86]

Is today’s show cancelled does anyone know? I don’t know if it’s worth traveling into the show from where we are camping with the weather

[jules50]

Why would it be cancelled.Weather is supposed to improve later.

[hernaman86]

Oh right I didn’t think it was, good stuff
