Just wondering about the same time that riat is on boscombe down will be finishing using the 2 tornado f-3's that are doing meteor missile trials could the riat team try and get them to appear maybe even a flypast would be nice especially a low level run.
Would like to see the Sea Vixen. It seems every year people want to see it but it is never booked, despite it's popularity.
The Solo Fast jet line up at the moment is looking rather thin. Waddington appear to have the lead with the Swiss F-18 and Austria Saab 105 displays and Czech Gripen on static at the moment.
RIAT looks rather display team heavy at the moment.
I'd hardly call a Saab 105 a fast jet, Lee but I can see the sentiment. Weren't were all discussing the possiblity of Swiss, Spanish, Finnish and Boeing Hornet displays at some point?

TBH a test pilot Super Bug demo trumps them, which is coming according to Boeing.
Pity we had not thought of it earler but this year is the 40th aniversary of the first Flight of the F15. Would have been nice if Israel, Japan and Saudi could have joined the folks from LN for a wee fly past or even a static display. Never mind 2014 is the F16's big birthday so hopefully someone at DBH is already on to that one.

Do you have a reference Andy? This is one aircraft I'd love to see again and I can't find any information on the web. Might not be looking in the right place.

it is not on a website someone emailed Boeing to ask them if they are displaying at a airshow and they replied to them only Fanrborough and RIAT

If that is true then why have RIAT not confirmed it? I'll believe it when I see it As for the Black Eagles, should they confirm fully it will be a massive relief!
