Is there a link to their schedule? We in North America are waiting to see what shows they chose for their tour here...

No schedule yet. That probably won't be until next month. The allocation letters are very unlikely to have gone out yet.

Alrighty. Thought if they confirmed RIAT it might be out, but I guess there’s some more waiting to do.

Ah well. Wonder if there’ll be a confirmation again tomorrow and they’ve just decided to skip the invited air arms post this year?

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Marineflieger added tomorrow.

Two P-3C displays in one year would do nicely. :grin:

Canada confirmed statics around this time last year didn’t they? Would love to see the CP-140 after it cancelling last year. :biggrin:

Probably been asked or discussed already, but just wondering if DBH has mentioned any themes for this years show? I guess themes I’m recent times have generally been a bit flat due to a lack of aircraft to make them feel significant. And perhaps this year with anniversaries like NATO 70th and D-Day 75th, it’s not easy to make those themes particularly clear as most aircraft there are usually part of NATO forces anyway. A big set piece finale is unlikely too nowadays I’d guess.

NATO 70th is being commemorated, and something is being planned, I believe.

Wasn't one of the themes also something to do with Space?

There's plenty of that in the static park these days, so that's taken care of. :up:

Well it's 50 years since Apollo 11, so perhaps that will be marked in some way? I think Al Worden might be attending again.

Anything from the NASA fleet would be hugely welcome, not sure how much of it has the range to fly here though.

I can't believe we'd get anything from NASA in the UK; but I suppose the WB-57 has been to Mildenhall (operationally) before... that's getting into crazy levels of rarity though.

Quite, they're like the Tower of London's ravens.
A good display too, for those who bother to watch.

Was hoping for the Pat Suisse after Sanicole announced them earlier in the week.

No sign of the ubiquitous (and quite nice) desert Hercules in the update though... maybe later.

Sanicole announcing something doesn't seem to mean that team's schedule is generally available, or that their participation elsewhere is known. Two years ago Sanicole announced all sorts of stuff out of sequence with everywhere else, including the Red Arrows, which is most unusual. I wouldn't take it to mean the Swiss aren't coming.

Ah the RJF, expected them to be confirmed, should give my hand a nice break from rapid camera movements, and a nice display too, so that gets a thumbs up from me :biggrin:
