Wishlist for 2012

[Raptor10]

what we need this year is a harrier display

[Fumbles]

What I would like to see... Any countries F-16 with CFT's. I still have not seen one in person. Other then that. I really would like to see a Mirage F-1 before they are gone the way of some of the other classics.

I think that F-16 would be possible... Rumours say that Florennes will have a Greek F-16 in the flying display so maybe RIAT can also get him!

I'll believe that when I see it. As Greece is massively in debt, surely that means restricted flights at home and no overseas visits?

They went to Radom last year, so I'm sure a trip to Florennes wouldn't be too much for them! Plus looking at Ostrava's line up, it seems a Greek Mirage or two will be going there in September!

[JackyRIATWilson]

For me, my wishlist would go a bit like this,

F-15 Eagle (F-15E Strike Eagle) - I don't care which one, preferably both, but RIAT didn't seem the same without one last year,
F-22 Raptor,
B-1B Lancer,
Su-35,
T-50 PAK FA.

If I get to see one of these this year at RIAT, I'll be happy!!

Nice to see they have their priorities sorted. It might be too much to get one over here, I'm thinking Florennes is their absolute maximum.

It would be nice for ukraine to come back with hopefully a su-24 fencer really would be nice to see and i would like some israeli aircraft

i was hoping for the Canadian f-18 super hornet display but on there facebook page it says that is the airshow isnt on the schedule, then it wont be gouing lets hope RIAT can persuade them to come.

[DeanW]

I think a Spanish Mirage F1 would top my wishlist!

No Super Hornet from Canada, just the CF-18 (CF-118)

Interesting. Going on past experience I think we can say an Osprey or two at RIAT is quite likely....

We need a b1b back at fairford , havent seen one in the flying display since 2007

I the current climate, I'd settle for one on static.

[the concerned]

most definetly a B-1, or even a coalition flypast with aircraft that contributed in libya

[Raptor10]

Does anyone know if the turkish f-16 is douing a 2012 season because id like to see that back at riat?

Fair chance I think. 99% sure Solo Turk will display @ Florennes and this message was on their site:F-16 Demo Team SOLOTURK accomplished the Over-sea training successfully for the 2011-2012 show season between 16-23 December 2011 at Dalaman Airdrome.
