Here's an interesting one.

Singapore is in the Commonwealth, and as it's Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee next year, could Singapore send this over, recently unveiled at the 2010 Singapore Air Show.

It's called the IAI Phalcon CAEW. Would be a fair sight at next year, or any year's show! :smile:

If the theme of the show were "Ugly Planes 2012," that would certainly fit!

Now, a Singaporean Stratotanker, that'd be sweet.

Considering what its based on is one of the most elegant biz-jets ever made, its certainly no looker is it! :grin: Singaporean Skyhawks surely, last chance saloon next year - or will they have finished by then. Cannot believe with RIAT's pulling power, in 15 years they've never managed to pull something as rare based so close for so long. :shock:

Possible that the Phalcon could attend, there was one at a Farnborough recently ('08 maybe?) so it could make a return there

I would like to see the Greek F-16 demo, not sure what the situation is with the team for next year though.

Alas, it seems that wishing for Cazaux Scooters is about as fruitful as asking for Gabonese Mirage F1s... :sad:

My kind of realistic dream:

Indian Navy Tu-142
Might be the last chance to see a French F-1
Spanish Navy Harrier
Italian Navy Harrier
Bulgarian Su-25
Belarus Su-24
French Navy E-2 Hawkeye

I'm already pleased with the Mi-14 and Mi-17 so

Keep up the good work RIAT!

What a strange looking aircraft, rather cool though! Reminds me of a cross between an F-16 and F/a-18a/c :biggrin:

And despite all this exciting exotic stuff two types I'd love to see are our very own, a Tristar and VC-10 on the flying programme. Two old ladies with little time left and I'm at a point now where I want to see them as much as possible before they go, especially as they're rare birds on the circuit.
