Or Turkish

Now that would be cool never saw a Turkish Phantom.

As far as I'm aware, the mig29 are still grounded so I wouldn't hold out too much hope on that one.

The Polish Mig-29 demo team said last month on their Facebook that they were displaying at some airshow in Europe in June...I am sure I put the link for it somewhere on this thread if not the link is on the UKAR thread.

I sure hope "some airshow in June" is the Luchtmachtdagen in the Netherlands. They recently removed their SU-22 and Case 295 from the list, so hopefully they put them back with that MiG...
Anyway, slightly off-topic, so I'll just say I'm very hyped for RIAT, no matter what will come, I will sit back and enjoy it

I am hyped like yourself about going back to RIAT cannot wait for a week of watching aircraft and enjoying myself just hope the weather plays nice like last year.

So with it being bank holiday i wonder if the bigger aircraft from the USA will be announced for static? As they have done the last 2 years I have been following the announcements.....Was the Mig-21 not announced this time last year too or was that earlier? Anyway here's hoping for another great update from DBH

[MRTT]

Italian Tornado, HH-101, HH-139A & C-27 static.

What are the chances of a big update today or are we just getting the Italians. Another tornado makes my day though never the less

Italian Tornado, HH-101, HH-139A & C-27 static.

Was hoping for a display from the Italian Tornado but on static is good enough as will see it arrive on arrivals day.....Great support from the Italians

[GVLCN]

Italian & RAF F-35 on static, some USAF bombers, a phantom & an su-22 now would make it pretty decent.

And of course this Romanian mig-21

[StrawdogUK69]

CANNOT find any Polish Su 22 / Mig 29 display info anywhere. Sadly I think we may be disappointed. ..

[MRTT]

They haven't and in fact have never released a display calendar, pretty large conclusion you've jumped to there.

[James Cutting]

I won't be because they never released a schedule...

[Zonan]

I wonder what will be confirmed tomorrow...

[James Cutting]

Hopefully, aircraft!!

[Zonan]

Hopefully, aircraft!!

And hopefully a bunch
I wonder when the Romanian MiG is going to be officially confirmed...

is was never self confirmed though. Only a website said its coming. The same website also said that Hungary are not attending RIAT this year.

[MRTT]

Information regarding the MiG-21 was supplied to said website by the Romanian Air Force.

Don't worry though, he'll moan either way

Yes, it was.

As James said it was self confirmed along with one Mig for static and a C-27J Spartan for static......The Hungarians will most likely cancel as they usual do but happy to be proved wrong this year.

Today we can confirm a diverse mix of static aircraft! The USAF will be sending a B-52H and KC-135, whilst the Royal Air Force have confirmed a Voyager tanker and Hawk T.1 from RAF Leeming. Also joining will be a QinetiQ owned PC-21, operated by the Empire Test Pilot School.

Nice to have a B-52 again
