According to the Chinook Display Team page they're still on for RIAT, unless I missed something.

Yes but according to that, Bournemouth's 4 day airshow is 6 days this year! I don't doubt they will indeed be at RIAT though!

[welshandy]

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

Steven.

if its the same as a couple of years bk it will be tooled up if its the bae systems tiffy and can i say what a hell of a display it was even with all that weight on board.

Will be loaded up as follows(from riat website) " four Meteor Beyond Visual Range Air to Air missiles, two Brimstone 2 low collateral precision strike weapons, two ASRAAM missiles and two Paveway IV laser guided precision weapons."

Does anybody know if there a E3 coming?

Do we think we'll get a 4th July special update on Monday like a few years ago?

Saw the Chinook display at Swansea yesterday. As good as ever ;-)

Chinook now confirmed

The Chinook HC.4, based at RAF Odiham, is a firm favourite of airshow crowds as it demonstrates amazing maneuverability for such a large aircraft. The crews will showcase the power, agility and grace of this 15 tonne helicopter to the Air Tattoo on all three show days.

Other confirmations include a Spitfire TR.9 from the Boutlbee Academy, which will be taking part in the flying display on Saturday and Sunday, as well as a mix of aircraft for the static line up. These include an Army Air Corps Apache, Belgian F-16AM and two aircraft from UK manufacturer Britten-Norman, the Islander and Defender.

Lithuanian C-27 CANX.

That's a great little update. Nice to have a F-16 static been 3 years?

Agree, hoping it's that stunner of a scheme!

Understand it's the 31 squadron Viper that has the special scheme.

Good job they're sending the jet to RIAT!

[Gary]

People can I ask again, please don't quote the post directly above. It make the whole thread messy and people have mentioned in the past make threads harder to follow.

If anyone will be tracking them coming to RIAT, the Tiger Jet is FA-77

Hi Gary, sorry if sound bit confused but could you clarify what you mean about quoting above. Not long new to FC so haven't acknowledged this rule/request.
Just so I understand for future ref.
Thanks for updates so far!

Basically keep threads simple & avoid quotations.

Back to the thread, this year's RIAT is looking awesome with so many surprises and showstoppers. Morocco is still ongoing, anyone heard any news on these?
