RIAT 2023 wish list

[jasonT1981]

From what I heard, they can now. However it has to be a highly modified routine, so much to the point they said it wasn't worth doing it for a handful of shows.

Straight and level with no aerobatics IIRC. 15 minutes of circuits with a few of them would do me!

[plmc135]

China to send a research balloon

[Nighthawke]

Flying display with an F-22?

[Anthhurson]

French air force, rafale, 2000 and f4's id love to see

[Gary]

Would be nice to get some French frontliners, been a while since there was any static, Super Etendards would have been last around 2012?

[Gary]

Belgian A109 calendar being released on the 1st March. Nice to have them back first time since 2018

At Cosford yes, too small for RIAT IMO. Same with the Czech Sokol last year, however great that was too see!

[Gary]

Both looked great from FRIAT

[seven]

I bet, and as long as FRIAT funds the appearance then its fine by me

[Gary]

There’s only 10 A109s left in Belgian service. The more times they attend RIAT the better in my eyes

Valid point, and there's defo always a place for them in the static, but flying nah. Cosford is much more suitable venue. And flares are an option too!

[Rugbyref]

I wish for.....captured Russian IL76 carrying captured Mi28.

Swedish historic flight cannot fly at RIAT due to the CAA rules post shoreham crash. We would all like to see them fly but it’s not going to happen.

I am Still holding out some hope that SHF might be tempted to spend some time practising a modified display suitable for RIAT. It’s not always about the ££££, sometimes it’s about the kudos for doing it. From what I saw in Jersey a few years back, it wouldn’t take too much of a change to satisfy the CAA.
Forever hopeful.

Indeed it would be superb to see them displaying once again however it's not about the display or the ££££. From memory it's about swept wing ex-military aircraft in a UK flying display (and being foreign registered complicates the issue here). The Jersey CAA are a operate entity from the UK CAA hence the displays in the Channel Islands.

They displayed at Bournemouth a couple of years ago, and that is still in the UK last time I checked. The issue is displays over land with such aircraft.

French F-4s would certainly be quite a catch!

[Discodaz]
