Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

Stooping to a new low for the marketing campaign , just for a video from this year got people taking so ultimately worked though

[Dan214sqn]

all park and view tickets sold out ? already ! Guess I will be missing the show next year

Here we go again....

P&V tickets are limited beforehand, you are relatively safe to turn up at a sensible time on the day and get in.

[Dan214sqn]

Thanks on both parts,

The 'Here we go again' I found especially helpful . Cheers

Nothing against you, you'll soon see what I mean when it starts getting asked multiple times on the same page, usually directly after the answer to the previous time, as it does every year. I don't recall ever seeing anyone turned away because it was full, even in 2022!

On another note, tomorrow's Thursday...

Frecce Tricolori unlikely to be at RIAT again, they are going on a US / Canadian tour. Although no dates have been given it’s been said they’ll be in Los Angeles for a flyover of the sailing ship Amerigo Vespucci on a 2 year around the world tour. Looking at the schedule Amerigo Vespucciis is due in LA in July 2024

In the run-up, stay tuned to our socials and emails for updates on all NATO aircraft that will attend the show. There may be a few unique announcements down the line, so keep your eyes on this space!

Looking at the themes I wonder of the WB-57 appearing at RIAT is a possibility?

Danish F16 demo seem to have self confirmed on a comment on social media
Which stated:

"We loved being part of the airtattoo see you next year for 50 years of viper awesmoness."

[jasonT1981]

WB57 would be fatastic

ICAS this week. Thunderbirds are tomorrow and ACC are on Wednesday, so expect nothing RIAT and lots of THEY HAVE A GAP RIAT WEEKEND!!

[jasonT1981]

Looks like no Freece Tricolori, it was reported a while ago they were going on an American tour. But now dates show they have shows from June in America with dates also in August.

Good start!

Also of note, the Raptor team has dates of the 20/21st as location TBD, BUT a stateside show on the 22nd. Read into that what you will.

Canadian CF-188 is the first participant confirmed by DBH. German Navy also declined

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Here's hoping it has a special scheme like the 2018 had as that one was beautiful.

[luke28]

Special scheme for 2024 is on the bottom of this article, it looks decent.

Looks great. Missed RIAT in 2018 so never seen the Canadian F18. Happy to see it coming.
