Providing we give them enough warning , maybe the us can Ship over a F-35 to put in static .

As has been mentioned the grim reapers are going so would like to see them go out at Riat, I would also love to see a Omani jaguar flying
Australian superhornet
Chinese jf-10 display team

On Saturday there was a couple of pilots from Esquadrilha da Fumaça the Brazilian Air Force's air demonstration team in FRIAT, couldn't really understand what they said in broken English but it sounded like they wanted or planning to bring the display team back next year after the disappointment of 2008. Would be good if it happened

For me

Greek or Turkish F4s
Indian or Omani Jaguars
Italian/Spanish/Indian even Thai Harriers

Dont ask for much you see! lol

F35 or 2 would be good - We can but hope

I'll get me coat

On a more serious note

Any Fast noisy jet that puts on a full monty afterburning display

F15 doing the old balls out vertical climb to the heavens
Vulcan doing it's final year with a bit more gusto than of late
A10's maybe doing a close support demo
B1 making your internal organs shake

Yes Please!!!!!

Plus...

F-22
F-35
Blue Angels

I'd like to see one last F-4 display before they all end up in the scrap yard.

In no particular order (apart from the first!)

- DH Mosquito (from US or NZ)

Then:-

SU-22s
Gripens
F16s
F18s
Typhoons
Tornados
F-35(s)
Spanish Harrier (or UK ones if they decide to can F-35!!)
F-22 (unlikely, but I can dream)
BBMF
Vulcan
Red Arrows
Patrouille De France
Frecce Tricolori
Brietling

The last four doing a full display on the Friday.

Oh, and make Friday an enthusiasts day, pit area again, and how about no funfair on Friday? It is supposed to be an AIR show.

Forgot A-10s and F-4s...!!!

Would be nice the the RAF could send a
Voyager
Globemaster
Hercules

I believe they are based at an airfield called Brize Norton
only around 10 miles away so should not be to much of a problem !

mind you come to think of it I don't remember seeing any of the above at this years RIAT
so maybe there is a problem , despite a good number of each sitting in the sun at there home base

I would like to see the following
JAS39 NG Gripen
F15C
F15E
C17
U2
Mv22b
Cv22b
Mc130j
Ac130j
F16C/D
Vulcan
F18
All the very best as always
Max

As there wont be a waddo show next year due to the base upgrade all the stuff that turned up for them this year please !
Swedish historic flt
Spanish helo team
Mv22

Display teams and Fast Jets are my thing so any of the Below would be Nice.

Teams
Midnight Hawks
Al Fursan
Wings of Storm
Singapore - Black Knights

Solo/Team Fast Jets.
Spanish Typhoon Solo
Austrian Typhoon QRA Demo
Ramex Delta
F-22 Raptor
JF-17 Thunder


and a Couple of Helicopter demos which would be Nice.

Czech Mil-24 Hind
Czech Mil-17 Duo
German Tigre Demo

After seeing the Ramex Delta at Kleine Brogel I've gotta say after the take off and first pass the rest of the demo is nothing special apart from seeing two Mirage 2000Ns strutting their stuff. Personally preferred the Tornado role demo. Although I would like to see Ramex Delta at RIAT

Czech Mil-17 Duo was fantastic through and would love to see that again

Personally would like any of the following

Flying
Austrian Typhoon QRA Demo
Rafale (hate to admit it but it still impresses me each time)
Finnish F-18
Czech Mil-17 Duo
BAF, RNLAF, RDAF etc F-16 (F-16 aint going to be around forever so more the merrier)
Hellenic F-16 (Wasn't that impressed at KB, would like to see it again)

Static
MC-130J
CV-22B
Super Étendard (Last chance?)
Colombian KC-767 (Shame it cancelled last year)
Greek or Turkish F-4
Greek T-2 Buckeye
French E-2 Hawkeye (Damn that illusive plane )
Anything Japanese

That's a start

MiG-29. Any and flying.

Good luck with the Omani Jaguars.
