Re: RIAT 2017 wishlist
Certainly getting some fab support from our friends across the pond, I've got various fingers crossed of having a B2 confirm soon
Would love to see some more helicopters coming in, how about the Huey and Loach for starters ? And pleeeeeeaaase can a Cobra from anywhere be confirmed, or I'll just have to fork out for a trip to a show in America next year (not keen on European food ).

Won't see one in Europe for a while after what happened to the Red Bull example.
Although the guys who own the Huey and Loach have a Cobra but I haven't heard anything about that for a while.

Re: RIAT 2017 wishlist
Yeah, saw the Cobra incident on chavbook the other day, very sad
I had heard that a Cobra was going to join the Huey clan, but does seem to have gone a bit quiet on that front. The last I heard they were awaiting paperwork but that was a couple or so years ago at least.
I'm all for fast jets, heavies, etc at RIAT but it would be nice to see some more choppers around other than the usual suspects (not that there is anything wrong with the usual suspects lol).

Re: RIAT 2017 wishlist
I really hope the aircraft that is being spoken about is flying.
I'm bored senseless in hospital so this site will keep me occupied for the time being!
I think Malaysian or Ukrainian Flanker.
What about you guys?

Well, if we take the "little gem" as a clue...(i know i know....) then maybe it is a lettuce based clue.. im pretty sure another name for the cos lettuce is Romaine..
So a romanian Mig is my guess/wish!!

That's what I understand too. It was purchased (delivered?) in 2009 and there has been very little news about it since. Shame really as I believe it would get lots of booking across Europe.

Re: RIAT 2017 wishlist
Or you're all reading far too much into the gem part of the tweet and actually it's rare aircraft that has nothing to do with your interpretations. These aren't moley clues that need to be deciphered.
