Sorry. Their green light is flashing on the list and that is the shown aircraft?

[rdchawk]

Looks like now on updates as/when confirmed.

BAE Systems Typhoon flying
Irish air corps CN235 for static
RNZAF 757 for static

Info as per RIAT website.

4 Typhoon displays I'm sure that will annoy some . Nice to see the Kiwi 757 back too albeit static plenty of room for them to bring some patches with them

[DeanW]

I had an email from RIAT saying the same, but also had the Osprey listed as flying on the Friday.

I'm sure I read that the Osprey is flying on the Friday as part of the demo with the KC-130J.

How are they going to fit all the F16 displays in too ?
One thing is for certain it's going to be loud!
Best take some paracetamol

Ignore me, I'm getting my wires crossed. KC-130J is flying with the F-35 on the Friday.

Looking forward to the BAE Typhoon all fully loaded as never seen it display.
Is the display any good compared to say the RAF?

Does it actually say anywhere it will be 'tooled up'? If so, where?

Just received the following from DBH, I'm sure a few might moan like last year

Dear FRIAT Member

Please note that due to Validation requirements on Thursday 7 July the FRIAT Enclosure will need to close promptly at 5pm.

As requested, a bus will be available from the Blue Customer Entry Point that will transport members round to Park & View East at 4.30pm. This service is only available one way; there will not be any transport back to the Blue Entry Point at the end of the day.

If you wish to use the bus for Park & View please give your name to the FRIAT desk on the day. This will help us to gauge the number of buses required to transport members to Park & View at 4.30pm.

Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you all next week!

Pretty low I would have thought. Would it not have been announced at the same time if something smaller was tagging along?

JASDF KC-767 confirmed for static.

chances of towing some JASDF f-4s over .
