Great stuff

Flipping heck 15 A400M is a good amount!

yep, a whole 6 on static display, 1 in a hangar, 3 parked on the opposite side of the runway and the other 5 parked on the flightline.
4 of the flightline and 1 of the other side flew

On saturday the 24th, the "meeting de l'air" was being helt at the 123rd airbase Orleans-Bricy. As a 6 hour drive from my home I decided to pick up a friend and go there in the hopes of catching some new types and numbers of the French, as I haven't gone spotting in France up until now. I was not di...

Thanks for sharing these with us, very interesting to see them. Plenty of variety too. Definitely was a nice variety and even though their air force is relatively small, they do have some nice equipment. Unfortunately the Police AB412 was replaced by the EC135 and instead of 2 OH-58Ds planned only ...

On friday afternoon after work I took a short 1.5 hour flight to Zagreb, arriving around 2:00 in the morning. I booked a hotel walking distance of the old terminal and rented a car to be able to pass through Zagreb Lucko and Velika Gorica, which only got me 2 Mi-171s in the end. Though the Mig-21s h...

Yea maybe? Although the Saudi jets have 'wet' wings so can fly further than our Reds - guess we just need to look out for them on tracking or keep an eye on FR etc for possible flight plans. Mike Saudi hawks arriving tomorrow in Waddington :) https://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8...

just 3 days before the show 2 personal highlights got cancelled...
Polish MiG-29 and Su-22 both not coming

Flightplan for departure at 10:10LT KC-3804

Hi, I ordered saturday tickets before and they arrived already, but last week (5th of may) I bought the friday tickets as well, these have not been received yet. Anyone know how long that could take? Edit: my tired brain didn't think of the spam folder :whistle: Still odd, why these get to the spam ...

There should be around 6 MiG-21s active in the Croatian fleet, but they have been grounded since the crash a couple of months ago. Whether they are still grounded or not is unknown to me

As the Tuesday topic was closed already, yes, this is actual flightplan info, eta 21:18Z, should be 22:18 Local time if I'm not mistaken. Seems like they will fly a very long mission first as their departure is planned at 22:20Z today

Had a nice visitor yesterday for a fuel stop. Lovely crew gave us a tour around and inside the aircraft before taking a coffee. After telling them we would be back in the tower for departure they decided to fly a bit closer to us :thumb: Video at the end as well https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...

Swedish Gripen and Jordanian C130 showing both for a departure at 0840z tomorrow

Looks like 2 more Aviano F-16s might be on their way?
Same route as yesterday, flying as NICKEL71/72 towards the UK

No apparently 73-1676 departed earlier this evening

according to adsb that one has flown from Columbus to Lincoln today

I read earlier one had departed the US but not sure if it’s the RIAT item. I also can’t see one on the trackers either If it's the one from wednesday, GRIM99 flew to Sauda bay. since it's not on the list until saturday it might as well come in on friday evening. I would not be surprised if it will ...

Not sure if it was mentioned yet but the Swedish gripens are no longer in todays flight list, they are now showing for tomorrow

Sk60s no longer showing in the system...

That CC-150... It was supposed be a tanker according to the website, but 15003 is definetely not a tanker

Kuwait Eufi (T) arrived at Manching in Germany today

This is however not the one for RIAT, the riat one is coming directly from Italy as planned.
The one at Manching is the X55273, planned for tomorrow at riat is X55274 from LIMF

It's a shame, sure, but I am still looking forward to having a great show with lots of variety of aircraft from countries I've never seen before. B-52s will be flying for like at least another 20 years, plenty of time to see them. In my opinion people are expecting too much of the show. Just wait it...
