too bad they are static though :(
They are not allowed to do dynamic display. Only at ILA and some local open base days.
Do you know the reason they are not allowed to do a dynamic display?
The Germans do not really display at Airshows, have not done so since the Ramstein accident.346 seriously injured and 70 dead.

The Luftwaffe had numerous displays post-Ramstein, including fast jet solos from the Tornado, Phantom and MiG-29, but stopped performing displays in around 2003.

Lovely little addition! :thumb:

Any idea if we can expect a C-27 to tag along as support?

They haven't really got any good stuff so far. All static displays or these trainer type aircraft. We want to see the fast items

Maybe it's too early still

Copied from the RIAT facebook page
Team Daedalus’ from the Hellenic Air Force will be taking part in the flying display for the first time at RIAT 2019. The team flies the T-6A Texan II, a training aircraft and was first established in 2005. We look forward to welcoming Team Daedalus to the Air Tattoo in July!
Nice to see something slightly different.

Nothing good so far? 2 Harriers in the flying display and the potential return of the SU-27 and maybe the Mig -21 plus the Belgain F-16, Swiss F-18, Frecce Tricolori and the Red Arrows so nothing good eh or fast?.......Honestly some people are never happy.

Frecce Tricolori have self confirmed. A 'mate of someones mate' mentioned a possible return of the Su-27 a while ago.

According to the official list, not people saying they’ve heard on a Facebook site that Ukraine& Romania air forces have “confirmed” it looks pretty naff this year, and normally I’m all for RIAT, but seriously weekly update a Texan?

RIAT sort yourselves out, put some phantoms,f-22’s & f-35’s on that list. And just ask one of the B-52 crews currently there to return in July.

That's quite possibly one of the most pathetic and ridiculous posts I've seen here for a long time.

If you'd bothered to play the slightest bit of attention to the show site, you'd have seen the Luftwaffe confirmed six aircraft this week. :roll:

Oh yes, of course it's just as easy as that, isn't it? Chr*st almighty. :grr:

Never ceases to amaze me about the whinging that goes on year after year about RIAT, as I see it it’s a simple choice, you either go or if your not happy with what turns up you don’t. Rant over,roll on July :thumb: :thumb:

Ummm did you miss the weekly update from Germany with 3 Typhoons, 2 Tornado's and an A400? Friday's was just an added bonus to this week.

You do know it's not as simple as just 'asking' for a Phantom or B52. The USAF F22 is elsewhere RIAT weekend, and rightly so. It's given up the past 3 years to come to UK missing a few Mid July US airshows. As for an F35. While the RAF have no demo team, I am sure we will see one in some capacity. The USAF F35 is displaying elsewhere like the F22 that weekend, and again rightly so given it is its first ever full demo season, so expecting it to give up 2 weeks to come to England is a big ask.

There is a LONG process to booking airshows, an even longer one to book a military show as big as RIAT.. They can only go on what countries decide to send. Ultimately the final decision on what goes where lies with the countries air arms decide. Not DBH.
