Cool thanks mate

[Hellicopter44]

Korean Black Eagles A2A is suggested as 231.8 on the Waddington pages.

Not being funny (Or am I ?) but who really want's (Or needs) to know the A2A frequency that the "Black Eagles" will be using ?............It's not as though any body speaks Korean , is it ?...........

They've been speaking in English while practicing the couple of times i've heard them Whether that changes during actual displays is another thing

Last year they were arriving on the Wednesday prior to the weekend

For ATC you are correct however on their own descrete air-air freq they can talk native language, this in common with how other teams operate etc

[wave scanner]

Hi Robin do you happen to know the tower, approach & ground, frequencies etc for RIAT or will you scan them from Wednesday on?

Should be same as last year, asearch of the forum should find them

[air-to-air]

Just heard a rumour that the Gnat display team may be displaying. Something about TBC , don't know if there's any truth in it though.

This should be the Red Star Rebels.

This should be the Red Star Rebels.

No Comment, except they are an interesting and new UK display team

I thought only two out of the four L29's are flying and that they did not rehearse a dispay yet.
Maby i am wrong but that what i have heared....

Your not wrong! 2 have flown for the first time this week, i guess they could be ready in time for RIAT but its really pushing it.

For those who have not noticed.. page one has been updated early today.

Very little needs to be added to this page now, except a few Air to Airs...

Hopefully, will shortly move to page one/message two

Any offers

Odd they've chosen to have display and tower on the same frequencies this year, thought the idea of display was so they didn't have traffic talking in their ear whilst they're performing? - Or will they use VHF for tower and push display traffic to UHF?

[TomG]

Folks,

Please note that we at RIAT have NOT released any arrival information relating to the B-2.

Thanks, Tom (DD Air Ops)

Whats the frequancy for the tower and approach?

[MikeB]

Whats the frequancy for the tower and approach?

All frequencies on the first page .

Judging by the listed arrivals dates it looks like Wednesday has the pick of the crop (unfortunately for me as I can only make it for Thursday ). I appreciate that it's early days yet but will you have any idea when the rehearsals are scheduled?
By the way, I think you are doing a splendid job with this run up thread
