Aircraft Arrivals

Post by RexNoctis »

Hi All,

Having done RIAT just for the weekend the last couple of years, my wife kindly surprised me with a weeks 'glamping' for my 40th :biggrin:

Is there any information about the arrival times of various aircraft, I would love to see the B1 & B52 fly in, I think they're scheduled to arrive on Wednesday but I have no idea where to look for timings (or radio?)

Cheers,

Danny.

Times aren’t normally know until the due list comes out on the morning. Are you there everyday? If so get in early and enjoy the day!

For the majority of people it's just a case of turn up on the day, pay £2 for a sheet of proposed aircraft movements, sit back and wait. Some people may well know more in advance (Tom for one, obviously) but most won't.

However the B-1 and B-52 are likely to be amongst the earliest arrivals due to their size so probably Tuesday or early Wednesday at the latest.

Cheers guys, I didn't realise a sheet of aircraft movements was available, will definitely grab that!

We are arriving on the Tuesday, was going to be taking a leisurely drive down but may try and arrive a bit earlier in the day, just in case!

There's a fair to middling chance the 4 B-1s have already arrived.
