Well done DBH to get the Su-27 Flanker in the flying display 3 years in a row is amazing cannot wait to see it again....Now all we need is the Romanians to confirm then that would be 2 Harriers, Flanker and Mig-21 all flying, don't think many people can complain about that.

[Red-Eye-Knight]

I see the confirmed aircraft page on RIAT website has Harrier and Reds down for flying all 3 days, Blades Saturday and Sunday, Belgian F-16 Friday and Saturday.

USAF C17 already in confirmed list for static display

It's not in the list on the official RIAT site. https://www.airtattoo.com/airshow/aircr ... d-aircraft

Guessing you’re referring to the C-17? It’s congirmed under ‘strategic airlift capability’.

[Thunder]

Which would suggest to me it’s one of NATO funded ones from Papa, Hungary and not USAF.

Already shaping up to be a brilliant year again at RIAT

The C17 is coming from Papa Air Base in Hungary,

NATO operates a fleet of three C-17 Globemaster transporters from Papa Air Base in Hungary, operated by the Heavy Airlift Wing (HAW). The HAW is part of the Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) that provides its 12 member nations with the capability to transport cargo and personnel over long distances. 2019 marked the second visit of a NATO C-17 to the Air Tattoo.

What has that got to do with RIAT? If you want to ask me something PM me.

[Thunder]

Don’t think he was aiming anything at you, he was merely stating that people are moaning left right and centre over on the UKAR site.

Well said James my friend it's starting to look like an awesome show just hope there is no accidents like the Mig-21 last year of call offs like the ATL2.

su-27 update makes me a happy man

[wonkybob]

no Easter update?

[bizfreeq]

Easter is tomorrow

[Red-Eye-Knight]

I wonder if we will get an eggstra update tomorrow?

[thevulcan]

Looks like no update today. Not surprised with the cracking update in the week.

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Last year's Easter Confirmation was on the Tuesday following easter and the Swedish Gripen, Lithuanian C-27J, and USAF KC-10 and C-17 were added to the lineup then Thursday they added the finnish F-18 so maybe Tuesday we might get something?

[jasonT1981]

I didn't expect an update today. DBH staff will be with their families having a well deserved day off from the madness of putting together such a big show. Probably Tuesday we will get an update if we are getting an Easter one.
