Royal International Air Tattoo 2019 Discussion Thread

[Mark]

I don't think they have just moved those acts to Sunday to "please Sunday" people...

And I don't think they'd be ecstatic about those being moved to Sunday

Hardly....

[Alfie]

Does this mean that the displays for Sunday we have kept on being promised with aren't going to happen now and they have plug the hole with some pretty non-descript displays instead.

[James Cutting]

What do you mean "kept on being promised with"?? It's just 4 displays that have been moved across to Sunday. They are still sorting out the flying days, so I'd just wait to see what occurs in just over a week's time.

[CGM]

For those Sunday moaners about the lack of content, RIAT has now rescheduled some of the flying to be shown on Fri/Sunday only and NOT Sat to keep them happy. These are

RAF Tucano T1
RAF Tutor T1
Italian CJ27 Spartan
Italian T346 A

Happy now ?

These were down for Sat/Sun on the RIAT confirmed aircraft page so it's actually pleasing the Friday punters.

[Blackcat1]

Wall to wall F35s soon Mark?? Nooooooooooo!!!!!

Defo not the best RIAT, but will be better than being at work and there are a few highlights i would say, poor poor US participation in the flying aspect.

F-16AM Belgium Great
747-400 BA Tragic, why is this at RIAT, who cares, go to Heathrow and see 100’s
A400M Airbus cool
The Blades Aerobatic Team Boring, go have lunch
Breitling Jet Team boring, go drink a beer
F/A-18C Hornet Finland fantastic!
Patrouille de France boring, go get another beer or have a nap!
T-6A Texan II horrendous, look at photos taken of the day.
Extra 300LX Tragic, go look at some static boring
Frecce Tricolori boring as hell!
C-27J Spartan Boring simple as that
F-2000 Typhoon Italy Fantastic!
T-346A italy Fantastically boring!!!!
F-16AM Belgium great, but getting a bit common now on the day,.
A400M German (flyover) fly over boring
EF2000 German fly over boring
Tornado ECR/IDS German good to see my old favorite one more time
E-3A AWACS okay
Typhoon FGR.4 Always the best performance
F-16AM/BM Danish third one of the day now!!!
F-15C/E US (flyover) boring, might as well go lakenheath and get a better experience for next to no cost!
MiG-21 LanceR C Romania an epic addition, really excited about this.
PC-9M Swift horrendous act, seaside airshow quality
EAV-8B Harrier II Plus x2 never thought I would see one again, absolutely epic!
F/A-18C Hornet always good, fantastic
Chinook HC.4/6A impressive
Su-27P 'Flanker' quality
Red Arrows The best display team and the only one which should be there.
BBMF fantastic as always!
Tucano T1 the worst display to watch, go asleep
F-16 Viper Demo Team the 4th f16 but interesting its American which I have not seen before
CV-22B Osprey getting boring now.

[jingernut]

CV-22B Osprey getting boring now.

BBMF fantastic as always!

You want to talk about boring... look no further!

[bizfreeq]

Hernaman86's post- boring, some parts horrendous and mostly typical! Not the worst or the best on here and certainly better reading than the Sun "newspaper"

[hernaman86]

HAHAHA! you lot get so aggressive! defo remainers!

[James Cutting]

- Would rather watch the Frecce and PDF many times over the Reds, who are quite simply overrated...

- There's the moan about the F-16's! You'll miss them when they are all gone!

- Can't wait to see the Breitling Jet Team, never seen them before and look fantastic

You not returned your tickets yet?

And of course you would bring in politics to an airshow! Don't be scared to drop a PM if you have an issue...

[bizfreeq]

No aggression from me old chap, I was just having a little laugh with you! Hence the winky smiley

[hernaman86]

lol i didn't say it was a bad air show, i just said not the best year, people are so defensive over some of the acts, anyone would thing you are flying them and i have slagged it off haha! Calm down James cutting you clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! better than the reds pffffffft!

[James Cutting]

Just an opinion my friend

Virtually in total agreement, i quite like the Italian display team though!!

BBC weather for Cirencester light rain 19th & 20th, dry with sunny intervals 21st. Perhaps buying a Sunday ticket may have been right after all. What ever the weather and what ever is flying it will be a good day and I'm looking forward to it.
Yeovilton this weekend to wet the appetite than "Glorious Fairford"
