Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
The local press speculating on a visitor to RIAT.
Maybe a couple of fly bys in a F-18. I don't think so but a bit of light reading on a grey Sunday.

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
I think someone in the local press has read to much into the statement on the latest RIAT update that US Navy squadrons are in "communication" with RIAT. I wouldn't object to the 'Maverick' marked up Super Hornet turning up, but as for "the man himself" I really couldn't care less if he does, or doesn't turn up.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

They're also making a dedicated entrance for it. Look for the 'Highway to the...

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
They seem to have also done an F/A-18E painted in that scheme for the film. It has now been dispatched to the mods line for the Blues reequipment later this year
Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
This is the one from the film look closely under the canopy
Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
Both E and F versions are in identical markings and were both used in filming.
Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
Yep! The 'Blues' have the other jet for Display evaluation & possible modified display routine to suit the proposed Superbug upgrade from Legacy Hornets.
You don't need to see the name below the canopy rail, the Tom Cruise jet is the one with the Mothercare Booster-seat! In fact the picture above shows him in the backseat during an early filming out-take.

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
I don't really care what celebrity turns up, none at all would suit me. It is an Airshow not some sort of red carpet event. Let's get back to the flying and static display, that's what I've forked out my money to see. Roll on Thursday hopefully for a decent update.
Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
The way things are going he will be the only visitor as I think RIAT would fall into the mass gathering of people from all over the world, and therefore be cancelled due to the Corona virus outbreak!
Hope it doesn't come to that, but just putting it out there as a possibility?
