Someone will come on in a minute to point out you get to see it flying if you go to departures on the Monday.

Any Phantom from the Greeks and any still flying from any other country, or a Su-30 MKM.

That's pretty much my wishlist too, save for a Polish/Slovak MiG-29 and the Super Hornet. :love:

The Horsemen Flight team are over for Duxford the week before RIAT. Worlds only P51 Display team, would be nice to get them (With Sally B?) Not technically USAF but did play a big part for their predecessors.

Pretty much as above but I'd love to see a German CH-53 again, or any other operator to be frank however unlikely

It's 40 years since the first flight of the Mig-29 and the prototype for the Su-27, so a few of them each would be good :-)

As RIAT has a history of having civilian airlines appearing in the past i wouldn't mine seeing Ed Force One in the static park

That'll be Germany then, seeing as the CH-53G was produced specifically for Germany? :whistle:

Be nice to see some Securite Civile Water bombers for a change if available , how about the Canadian Skyvan C-FARA that operates in the UK at the moment , definitely something from "the land of the rising sun" would be appreciated

What about a few classic jets for static, Martin baker meteor, HHA with a couple of hunters, there's at least one vampire I know of flying. A jet provost or 2 and a gnat from the display team along with a strikemaster.
Sea Vixen would cost to much I understand that.
I can't think of any other classic jets flying in the Uk ??
