Re: RAF Typhoon Fleet

Are this pair of aircraft still 'withdrawn from use' or are they being prepared for a return to service? I know it had been planned to return ZK326 to service originally but thought that ship had sailed and I didn't think ZJ948 was planned to ever fly again?

Re: English Riviera Air show Line-Up

I watched some of the live stream and I was very surprised by a rare Red Arrows error in their display! For those who didn't see it they attempted the "heart" but both jets went the same way after the vertical instead of splitting....i'm sure the beers are on the pilot who made the error (and in all...

Don't go then.
This sort of moronic response is why people do not post on this thread anymore. People are allowed to express concern at the line-up or a negative view.

Red-Eye-Knight's comment above yours is a reasonable response. Taking Daz's point and arguing against it with his opinion.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2025 General Discussion Thread

Having seen an account of last weeks FRIAT forum, it was apparently said by Paul Atherton that as of that morning (last Friday) they had about 200 aircraft. A count of what’s been announced so far came to about 87. So that in theory leaves around 113 more aircraft to be confirmed, averaging about 1...

Re: RAF retirement dates

With regard to the Shadow is 2030 the date by which they want all aircraft upgraded to R2/R2+ etc or is it an OSD for the type itself?
