You can see some movements and possibly either end of the static. there are usually 2 car parks, and if this is still the case you can move location. Views are best described as restricted.

Cheers

I believe it has been said if you do not have a ticket, you can't view from the car park.

From the FAQ: "At both sites, from 6am each day, free of charge parking is on the airfield, on hard-standing for ticket holders in the Park and View enclosures. You are not permitted to view from within the car park if you do not have a ticket."

Many thanks for replies

[The Cat]

Actually Park and View tickets still available on line for Tuesday and Thursday.
I should have checked first I suppose !

Romanian Mig-21 cancelled, C-27 still attending.

Thoughts with both the pilots family and the wider Romanian Air Force community, a tragic event.

[bizfreeq]

That's a bit confusing as the RIAT press release states that the Romanian Air Force will no longer be attending the show. I read that as, and totally understandably, no participation at all. The C-27 is still on the list though.
Can't say I blame them if they have indeed pulled as a whole though at this difficult time.

[MRTT]

C-27 now added to the cancellation list, completely understandable.

Loving the maturity on this forum, unlike a not named forum that has been locked for a second time in recent weeks

RIAT will be brilliant this year

Horrible news about the Romanian pilot though, rest in peace and fly high dude

Can't wait for Saturday folks!

B-52 is cancelled

[MRTT]

Not clear whether it's for today or a complete cancellation, hopefully the former.

[colt99]

Thanks MRTT.

Its not been added to the cancellation list yet...

[womas]

It looks like French Atl2 15 and Italian C-27 MM62219 (nr. Lyon) are on their way.

Its not been added to the cancellation list yet...

Now it has, along with the Polish Fitter...

Are there any USAF F-35s in Europe anywhere? Still no ALTRV for the Heritage flight. Not leaving much time for issues etc

[GVLCN]

Bit of a joke cancelling the B-52 considering fairford is a forward operating base for B-52’s, unfortunately a lot of star items are dwindling!

Just hope the SU-27’s don’t cancel & F-35’s magically appear over the next 48 hrs.

[James Cutting]

Why is it a "joke"? Do you know why it cancelled? Maybe there was a last minute tech issue. Give it a break already.

[raptor76]

Where in the static park have they placed the C-2 green, red or blue?

Next to Kempsford campsite if that helps, near the blue carpark
