RIAT 2014 - News and updates here please
Re: RIAT 2014 - News and updates here please
Good to see the FAP C-295 returning. Also the handy new column showing the days displaying is a good idea, just a shame the Estonian L-39 appears to be friday only.

Hopefully the Estonian L-39C will be put on Static for the weekend.
Also the AAC Bell 212 has cancelled

Re: RIAT 2014 - News and updates here please
Does the 2nd Polish Su-22M confirmed as flying mean they will display as a pair?
An extra 45 mins of flying display confirmed also - think this in itself is an impressive update.

Also - I thought it was just 3 F35's for the show, seems now there is 4?
Re: RIAT 2014 - News and updates here please
The rumour on the Brize Norton Facebook page is the 4x F-35B, 2x KC-10 1x C-17 and possibly a KC-130J will be arriving Sunday

Re: RIAT 2014 - News and updates here please
4 does appear to be the case, maybe an extra one for a hangar queen
Su-22, they clearly state it is for static only, which i hope means they'll both be parked over at the east end, with one as a spare.
Regarding the extension of the flying program, it looks like they are shooting themselves in the foot there, Vulcan not invited because we cant fit it in, 2 weeks later an extension to the flying program... Personally i think there's either another team coming yet to be announced, or they've got something else planned.

Re: RIAT 2014 - News and updates here please
Not to bring up old arguments re the Vulcan but I thought it was due to allocation of funds not the display schedule being full. Either way, I think you are right with the RIAT team having something up their sleeve for next week's Thursday's announcement.seven wrote:4 does appear to be the case, maybe an extra one for a hangar queen![]()

Really looking forward to this years show but wont be much of a birthday celebration of the BAe Hawk particlarly when you consider how many airforces operate the Hawk!Gary wrote:According to the BAE website there will be a Hawk T2 on static, but as usual in the restricted access bit so the average person will see it from the distancehttp://www.baesystems.com/article/BAES_ ... r-presence

Re: RIAT 2014 - News and updates here please
Folks
I have been told that this is public knowledge by my sources, but it has not been mentioned here, so I can all tell you that 4 F35s and 2 KC10s will be coming between 1800-2000 this Sunday. The bomb dump will be open for parking and one of the gates will be open for viewing. RIAT will be employing marshalls for this event. I haven't heard anything about the C17 or KC130J

Now all we need is for the weather to co-operate?
