RIAT 2018 discussion
Re: RIAT 2018 discussion
From my analysis of the flying display there are more aircraft confirmed this year than in recent years and that justifies a different display on each day.
As for the static, my impression is there are more 'large' aircraft than in recent years that would naturally require more space. Also consider the possibility that after the royal review flypast which could contain 50 or so RAF aircraft, they could land at Fairford and become a huge RAF 100 static display. Just a thought.

Well it’s not exactly here often is it, I didn’t think it was that realistic anyway.

That's a fair point and there does appear to be an increase in C-17s and A400s this year. If that is the reason for all the extra pan space that suggests DBH maybe had a good idea early on that they were going to be sent predominantly large transports in preference to fighters and trainers.
Verelli, I'd be very surprised if the RAF flypast aircraft land at Fairford. In fact I'd go as far as to say that they won't, with the possible exception of the BBMF and Arrows.
Re: RIAT 2018 discussion
It is common sense.
What is a nation more likely to bring?
A large type that can support itself and make the journey in one or two hops.
or.
A small type (eg: fighter) that is going to require support assets, has a high likelihood of going tech en-route, needs to land in multiple other nations as part of the journey which might be a political issue or requires a dedicated AAR asset.

Would’ve been nice to see Croatia send something!

If you don't want it to be a three day event, nobody is forcing you to go all three days. While if it seems a bit samey, take a year or two off and come back to the show fresh. And lastly, what would sufficiently constitute a (realistic) star item?
Sometimes star items aren’t realistic. For example, No one thought a MiG-21 was realistic.

When was the last time it visited the U.K. Sam... Don’t pick holes for the sake of it

It would have been nice to see lots of weird & wonderful countries send something and I think DBH should be proud of what they've achieved this year, but still some of the members here are not happy.
If you're not happy then go and whinge somewhere else, please.

He was saying it would’ve been nice to see them, not once did he say anything about DBH’s efforts. You’re the one whinging about nothing.

How about posting your wishes on the wishlist :- viewtopic.php?f=19&t=78152&p=828609#p828609
You guys are clogging up this thread with complete and utter drivel.

He says, after complaining about someone doing something that they didn’t even do.
Back onto RIAT, does anyone think we’ll get any other updates apart from the details of the flypasts? It’s looking very late for air arms to confirm their attendance just now.
Edit: Because I know someone will have a go, It’s just a question, not me wanting more from DBH.

Probably just the Croatian MiG-21s (and support aircraft) to confirm now , I presume that this is your first RIAT considering you've posted almost 300 times in the RIAT section, since you joined, in the last 7 weeks?

No, but I’ll tone down my posting if you really want me to?

I mean Ukraine were a very last minute addition last year, and I think I remember someone showing up so last minute they couldn't announce it, so it is very possible, then again it is very possible for a star item to cancel so it has ups and downs I guess.

Agreed, a huge amount of it should have been in the "Wishlist" thread.

Now I know I’m not helping with the problem this thread has of irrelevant posts by saying this, but I hope the irony isn’t lost on you that you complain of the drivel in this thread, then make a completely pointless post about someone’s English.

The problem with you is that you just have to say something, my reply to Kevyboy has nothing to do with you, so why do you feel compelled to post something?
