If New Zealand do send anything it could possibly be their C-130 that is currently operating in Europe, The initial press release put the mission at around 2 months so would end around early July.
New Zealand C-130 would be awesome never saw one before.

I'm surprised that Pakistan has not been in discussions as of yet as they normally attend with their awesome scheme C-130 Hercules, Still plenty of time for it to happen.

I don't think there will be an Apache display this year as don't they normally have their schedule out by now for the season?
We had a Pakistan P-3 as one of the updates in 2020 or 2021 before the Covid cancellations. That would have been awesome.

So today's update has only changed the date from the 23rd to the 26th? Think someone has made a mistake.

We're delighted to be able to confirm a large contingent of aircraft from the Italian Air Force will be heading to RIAT 2022! The Frecce Tricolori are always one of the highlights of the RIAT flying display, and they will be joined by a host of solo displays from the Reparto Sperimentale di Volo. In addition, we'll be welcoming a number of aircraft for static display, highlight of which will be a final appearance of the AMX before it's retirement from service... Viva Italia!


Aircraft from RAF Mildenhall join the USAF 75th Anniversary celebrations at RIAT 2022! The 352nd Special Operations Wing will exhibit their MC-130J & CV-22B on static display, accompanied by their specailist vehicles and equipment. We will also have the legendary KC-135 Stratotanker on static display.


Work continues behind the scenes on the flying display scheduling, and static display parking plan. We are in a very strong position at this stage, with the static displays now looking extremely full with more aircraft to be announced in the coming weeks once the final approvals are in place for their participation. In addition, we are planning to extend the duration of the flying display due to the number of notified participants!


We're pleased that our friends from the RAF Microlight Flying Association, Halton Aero Club and RAF Waddington Flying Club will all be returning to RIAT, with their aircraft joining the static displays as part of our Training theme.


Sadly, we have been notified this week that the Finnish Army are no longer able to attend RIAT 2022. In addition, two civilian aircraft have also withdrawn from the static

Presumably they took a while to update the website, because said list is now there.

Shame about the Paggio P.166 and the Finnish NH-90 not attending but as with every airshow there will always be cancellations, Would have liked to have seen the NH-90 in that snow camouflage though :'(

Looking at the timing for the next confirmation of confirmed aircraft from DBH.
As it's going to be Thursday, I wonder if the RAF will select RIAT to rerun parts of the flypast as they did in 2018. only the weather stopped Fairford getting some sizable formations that flew down the Mall.
It's looking like there will be a "70" made up of at least 14 Typhoon's on the 2nd June.
As the Jubilee is one of RIAT's themes, I hope we may get a good announcement on Thursday.
Fingers crossed. :thumbs:
