Stop all updates now, the show is a guaranteed success.

[Voodoo1]

Wow, updates coming thick and fast!
You know it's less than 3 months when the heavies get announced!
Great additions today especially the Wedgetail. Never get my hopes up for the E-3 Sentry, as Gary mentions wonder how long before she cancels!

Oh got to love RJF! That has got to be this Thursdays update... I mean we've had some cracking ones last few weeks so time to be brought back to normal!

Royal Jordanian Falcons for Bray, RIAT, and Yeovilton http://www.rjfalcons.com/

Aren't you excited?

That's 20 minutes to go the loo and get a bevvie!!

Early bird tickets have been extended by one day. For anyone still not bought theirs. Also something being announced tomorrow morning

Earlybird Offer Extended 24 Hours!

Great news! We have extended our Earlybird offer for 24 hours to make room for an exciting aircraft announcement in the morning! This means you can now save yourself up to £8 on admission tickets if you book before midnight Wednesday 3 May.

*Prays for Mig-21*

*Prays for Mig-21*

That was my initial thought.

[MRTT]

Mig-21 or B-1 are the most likely, I'd say.

[welshandy]

I'm hoping for at least one of the following :- B1,B2, B52, C5

[peasus911]

Pakistan Air Force still flashing amber. that's my fingers crossed item. B1 and B2 would also be awesome.

[Blackcat1]

Fair play to the Jordanian Falcons, they are good supporters of RIAT. Great skill to to fly an Extra all that way even with many fuel stops.

[Voodoo1]

Oh how exciting!
Seeing as they've extended the early bird tickets sales I'd say they are expecting this announcement to sell tickets fast therefore it's got to be something that will drag people in the droves to see.
Going with this year's theme and it now being May it's got to be something from the USAF.
I'm going with any of the bombers could be announced, possibly B-2 in the flying?

I'm going for the Sherdils, don't know why.

I'm going for the Sherdils, don't know why.

Like the thinking MRTT, the PAF did cross my mind too but the only exciting update would have to be one of their Thunders.

All will be revealed tomorrow!

Ah yes - a display team with several 2-seat jet trainers - quite like the Breitling team then

And the Red Arrows, PdF, Pat Aguilla, Frecce, etc.?

[Rory76]

USAF Heavies is my bet....

I thought the RJF get air freighted over in a C130

[anthony martin]

how about a certain fast pointy thing from Norway

Avalanche ?

[Alfie]

The RJf do come over in a C130 I think it's the Yeovilton Airday facebook page where there are pictures of them being unpacked and assembled. Bit like an Airfix kit.
