Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

[James Cutting]

Very nice indeed, Serbia is a great addition as are the Canadian assets.

Good to hear about more upcoming flying displays too.

[Dennisblade]

unfortunatly australia, austria, croatia and estonia are not on the list anymore. Would have liked to see the PC-9's of croatia flying.

[Plane enthuiast]

Would’ve really liked to have seen the QRA demo especially on an air power year. But oh well.

[James Cutting]

You've still got Bulgaria, Indian Army & Navy, Morocco on the list...So all isn't lost. I am pretty sure the QRA demo was just a one off.

[Dennisblade]

Educated guess, Bulgaria c27/an-30/l410, marocco F16, indian air force no clue, indian navy p8?

But im curious about the demo teams, midnight hawks, red arrows, RJF and PdS.
PdF and Frecce are not comming, maybe Saudi Hawks cause saudi AF is still on the list?

[James Cutting]

Saudi Hawks would be nice to see again!

Shuttle bus close to capacity. For anyone who hasn't got their tickets yet

There are only 100 spaces left on the Swindon Shuttle Bus for Saturday of RIAT24!

Be quick to get your tickets before they sell out

Another solid update and great to see another new nation taking part. Great support by the Canadian. Hope the RAF repay the favour

[Dennisblade]

Last year with the old Hawk model. So would be nice with some nice support.
And still have to wait for the americans, maybe they bring something special.

Saudi Hawks self confirmed weeks ago was posted on this thread on page 4 so hopefully they do get confirmed by DBH as would be great to see them

The QRA Demo has only ever been seen in the UK twice that was Leuchars back in 2013 and RIAT 2022 so chance of seeing it again are very slim.

Thats great news. Hope they bring some nice support and some nice fighters to company them

[Thunder]

Hopefully I’ll catch them going through Souda, along with the Jordanian F-16’s.

What day did the Saudis arrive last year?

Wednesday

[Gary]

Think he meant in the UK, which was around the 4th at Waddington

[Thunder]

Actually you are both correct. I was trying to gauge possible transit through Souda, but I failed to think that they might be in Europe a week or two or even more before RIAT.

[MikeN]

Still waiting for The United States Air Force to say which aircraft they are going to send.

[MikeN]

In case anyone was interested, RAF Fairford was also the emergency landing site for the space shuttle.

That will be down to what is agreed by DBH and the USAF, and announced in due course once the paperwork is all signed and everyone is happy. Patience
