Today's update 21-4-2016

In 2015 we welcomed Qatar as the 55th nation to take part in the Air Tattoo since it began in 1971, this year we are looking forward to greeting our 56th nation - Croatia.

The Croatian Air Force's aerobatic display team Krila Oluje (Wings of Storm) will make its long-awaited and much anticipated UK display debut when the team's six Pilatus PC-9M turboprop trainers take to the skies at the Air Tattoo. In support, and appearing on static display, will be a Mil Mi-171Sh transport helicopter.

Very much looking forward to the Wings of Storm seem like they have a great reputation for being the best with prop engines - Plus its another team to tick off my list of seen.

[Voodoo1]

Nice to see another participant. Looking forward to seeing the Mi-171.
Prop displays not usually my thing and usually the tea break display but hope they live up to the hype.
In general it's a quiet update and nothing exciting seeing as we all had the heads up on the Croatians.
Time is ticking and hoping updates get a little heavier as static is poor so far.

Republic of Korea Navy Invited

Isn't north korea just a bit over the top?

No. It's a great plan. You invite them, and when the near the coast, send up a couple of Tiffy's and shoot them out of the air

Republic of Korea are the good guys so why not invite them? Their AF display team were over two or three years back

2012 I think the black eagles were over at riat.apart from the reds and frecci they are one of the best teams going I would say and I really hope they come bk soon .

In my opinion, they're better than the Reds!

[rdchawk]

The Black Eagles were simply superb!! - Hope they are back really soon!!

[Scudpilot]

Do we think that there will be further announcements today, or was the earlier news in the week all we will get this week?

[Al dunn]

Will find out in about 10 mins

The Belgian Air Component's spectacular F-16A MLU Fighting Falcon display, piloted by Cdt Tom 'Gizmo' De Moortel in his second season, is set to be one of the highlights in our flying display this summer. Belgium is also providing two contrasting aircraft for the static park: a C-130H Hercules transport and, for the first time at the Air Tattoo, an L-21B Super Cub used as a glider tug by the country's Air Cadets - one of four such aircraft flown by the Belgian Air Component.


We welcome back great friends of the show in the form of the Royal Jordanian Falcons, the national aerobatic team of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, with its four Extra EA300L high-performance aerobatic aircraft. The team has appeared regularly at the Air Tattoo since 1979, when it first attended with a pair of Pitts Specials. Its attendance helps perpetuate the long-lasting link between Jordan and the show, one highlighted by the fact of His Royal Highness Prince Feisal being Patron of the Air Tattoo's Flying Scholarships for Disabled People.


Welcome support comes once again from the Hungarian Air Force which will be sending a JAS 39 Gripen fighter for static display and, probably now nearing the end of its service life, an Antonov An-26 turboprop transport.

Adding a touch of nostalgia to our static park will be the Jet Provost T5 operated by Jet Aerobatics from East Midlands Airport.
The RAF has added another aircraft to our static display in the form of a Grob Tutor trainer from the Southampton University Air Squadron at Boscombe Down.
