USAF F-35 and A-10 self confirm for RIAT.

It was expected, but great to see.

The A-10 self confirmed for one of the last cancelled shows so i am hoping that this self confirmation is correct and DBH confirm it as that would be awesome along with the F-35

Does this mean we will also get the E-6?

Latest update - 17 March 2022
Great news from our loyal supporters in Belgium; they will be sending their F-16 Solo Display to perform at RIAT 2022! There is a new display pilot for the 2022 season, and a new specially painted aircraft due to be unveiled between now and the display season. In addition, they will also send an additional two aircraft for static display and we will be asking for one of these jets to be a F-16BM as part of our training theme.

As part of our training theme we're pleased to be welcoming a pair of Pilatus PC-9M aircraft from Slovenia, one for flying display and another for static display. They will be supported by a LET 410 transport aircraft, which should remain for static display over the weekend.

Another fast jet contribution for the flying display comes from the Spanish Air Force, who will send their EF-18 Hornet, which we last saw at RIAT in 2017.

We are pleased to be welcoming back our loyal supporters, the Royal Jordanian Air Force, who will once again bring their C-130H Hercules for static display.

This week we have also received communications from both the German Navy, and the NATO Airborne Early Warning & Control Force, who both hope to send aircraft for static display at RIAT 2022.

Now that is a update

[Gary]

Looks like the Afghan is a mistake? Hopefully not

[Mike]

Surely the PC-9's are from Slovenia and not Afghanistan?

[tomw]

Also seems to be a mix up between Slovenia and Slovakia?

[Gary]

Afghan now gone fun while it lasted

[Red-Eye-Knight]

I wonder why it was put up in the 1st place? Obviously a mistake but kind of a big mistake to make.

[Discodaz]

well..with great respect..finally an update worth attending for. ( just my opinion)
