No idea if this is a common way for this forum to keep track of the movements, but in my opinion it's always good to have clear topics for every arrival day
Let's start with the wednesday, as far as known to me right now:

Eta ? 2 Swedish Sk60s

Its a while back, but previous year's worked by having the aircraft call sign/type and then RIAT arrival in the title. If we have a one thread per day set up it gets rather messy!

RIAT arrivals are always a nightmare for Moderators (I'm talking about our wonderful Moderators that actually moderate 52 weeks of the year and not those that just appear occasionally when they feel like it) - no doubt I'll get shot at dawn for saying that.

There will be posts in this section, there will be posts in the OTT/Heads-up section, there will be posts in the Non-UK Heads-up section and there'll be posts in the Fairford section.

Can't wait......................

And don't forget the "a plain took off from Hicksville USA is it comin to RAIT" threads. Thankfully most of those people have migrated to Facebook now so hopefully things will be more civilised here.

That's true, Chris!

A quick question :- Can members with less than 5 posts see the RIAT section?

From a post on Facebook it said Hungarians Hinds on Wednesday, take from that what you will.
Edit B17 also due wednesday

Let's wait and see what the 'sheet of lies' says

I'm sure someone will post it on Wednesday.

Just looked and yes they should be able to view it. Heads up should be the only section with a restriction

All I say is "when the rubber slaps the (hot) tarmac!"
It's gonna be great whatever turns up

Don't be so sure about that as in 2018 the French Navy ATL2 arrived and departed before the weekend and I am sure in 2019 a German A-400 Atlas arrived and departed before the show too maybe someone can clarify that?

Hopefully though everything arrives safe and stays this year

Sally B have announced they are arriving Wednesday. No time given

Fair chance the static B-52 may do so as well then so they can fit them in together?

He was retasked unfortunately, having arrived and practiced on the Wednesday. Anyone who didn't see it didn't miss much.

2 Sk60’s will refuel at Volkel on Wednesday. So expect them also to arrive at Wednesday.
