Royal International Air Tattoo 2013

Today's update 27/03

United Kingdom SQUADRON TYPE
Army Air Corps
Boeing Westland WAH-64 Longbow Apache Army Air Corps Helicopter (Flying)

[Dunk]

Still looking very thin on the ground (and in the air!) compared to this time last year.

Either confirmed by this point in 2012 by RIAT or by the teams themselves were:

Polish Mi-14
Brazil C-130
Comlumbia C-130, T-90
DHL 757
RAF Squirrel
Andrews KC-135
ITAF 767
SPYDR King Air
ITAF P180
Vulcan
BBMF
E-6B
Jordanian falcons
Osprey
Pat Suisse
ROKAF Black Eagles
Saudi Hawks
Al Fursan
Red Arrows
BAE 146
Jordanian C-130
Netherlands F-16's
B-52
P-3

Yes it was a Farnborough year, and not everything showed thats is on the list, but compared to whats been announced so far, it's looking a bit 'light'. I know moneys tight with Air Forces worldwide, it is just depressing the way the whole military aviation scene is disappearing.

RAF Chinook display team have confirmed themselves for RIAT, guess that's tomorrow update sorted

[benji1867]

todays eggstravigant addition is the Chinook in the flying display

[Gary]

I can see why DBH have done this Egg-stravaganza it's got people taking / moaning about RIAT, but surely the have picked the wrong aircraft.. If they had waiting and announced the Brazilian, Colombia & Finnish in this manor people would have been congratulating RIAT. I've got my FRIAT ticket so whatever they announce is good

[TARGET]

Lets just hope they are saving the best for the last

[GummyBe4r]

Theres been some eggstremely good additions this week

[GVLCN]

Definitely hope they're holding a few gems back, otherwise I'll save my money.

With 11/12 more updates due before the show begins, I would expect some more 'nice' additions to go on the list. Most of the UK Mil aircraft have been added at part of the easter daily update, appart from the Red Arrows (Expected tomorrow), so we know we won't be getting any more UK mil updates.

lots of time to go............So dont panic just yet.

Gary

[Richard B]

Think it will be the Dutch or Belgium F16, they both support many shows each year over here.

[Viper28]

appart from the Red Arrows (Expected tomorrow),

Thats already on the Reds own site / calendar http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/displayinfo/displaydates.cfm

[Mike]

Everything revolves around the US military being involved, I dread to think how empty the static park will be without them.

[GVLCN]

The lack of American support is what is bothering me, hope they can fill up with other aircraft even what's left of our airforce would be nice.
