It would be even more awesome if they tucked inside their drummers. They were hypnotic last year and thoroughly entertaining.
Happy.

Looking like an amazing year this year cant wait

Sadly an Romanian Mig 21 has crashed this morning, no word on the pilot according to Facebook. Could be potentially bad news for one of the stars of the show.
Fingers crossed for the pilot anyway as that's the most important thing

Apparently after a meeting at Chequers on Friday Trump and May are heading to a joint UK US military installation.
Given the meeting is in Oxfordshire I guess it's Croughton....but there again ?

Mig-21 pilot confirmed deceased, tragic news.
Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
Being suggested on Scramble that the Romanians have unsurprisingly withdrawn their attendance at RIAT.
Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
Advance tickets for park and view is sold out some days, if you turn up early on the day,will you be able to get in ?
Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
Yes, limited number of tickets will be sold on the gate.
Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
Very sad news this week with both migs, the Romanian will not be atteneding now due to a fleet grounding. Yes this will be an upset to most spotters, but until investigators have determined cause of crash, no Romanian mig-21 will be flying!
Pilots safety is priority and will always take over any airshow, let’s hope that RIAT will ask the Danish Air Force F-16 pilot to fill a spot!

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
The guy who died was the display pilot. Grounding or not, it still wouldn't have come over. Thoughts are with his family and the Romanian air force at this difficult time

Tuesday Park & View request. If I turn up mid morning and I'd guess no tickets available can you see anything worthwhile from were you park ?
I have weekend tickets and only a last minute change gives me Tues (and Wed) free
