There are a few more potential participants awaiting confirmation, as it clearly states earlier in the thread. Although i have a feeling theres one i can guarantee isnt coming...

Folks,

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

Thanks, Tom (DD Air Ops)

Sorry Tom I'm not doubting you're sincerity for one second, but I read it here, honest !! (It has now been removed )

Few additons and few got cancelled.... Nothing flying added. Don't see that something flying will be added because we are so close to the finish.... Or do you know something else Robin?!?

I notice the b-2 has been removed from list any reason why please

I imagine it's because USAF do not want the arrival information on the B-2 released, which RIAT have not done, but someone has had wind of the information and released it.

Actually they did Mike, it was on the official RIAT arrivals page for a short time. But im guessing you are correct, though i'd still be suprised if it turned up when they said anyway...

Depending on your equipment and location you should hear at least the airborne traffic,maybe even some on the ground if a reasonable setup. Fromhere in Surrey I can hear traffic down to about 3000 ft there.

I know one should not guess, but IRAN has said it will close TODAY... the Strait of Hormuz.

This will stop all oil movements in the region, after the Iranian MPs sign a draft law aimed at blocking Europe-bound oil tankers from using the Strait of Hormuz

If Iran does carries out its THREAT, then almost certainly their will be a military confrontation, on a big scale

A European Union ban on imports of Iranian oil started on Sunday 1st July 2012.

"This bill has been developed as an answer to the European Union's oil sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran."

It is said that as of Sunday at least 100 of Tehran's 290 members of parliament had signed the bill as of Sunday.


IN this case, it would be wise to have the best Saudi Pilots back home....

the RSF support C130 only filed its flight plans from Waddington to Fairford, back to Waddington, and then back to Fairford yesterday evening around 1830 - so seems strange that the Hawks will not go to Fairford when it is planned to transport all their ground equipment etc. I guess we will have to see if it actually makes the flights .......seeing as the rSF do not appear on the RIAT aircraft list anymore
