RIAT Wish list.

[DaveBlu]

At next years 2013 RIAT, I would like to see...

A Nimrod and a Shackleton.

[capercaillie]

It won't be worth going unless there is a B-1 or a B1-B there!

[st24]

No Hercs or American airliners please, no RAF trainers, nothing without re-heat then we're guaranteed an epic show...

[capercaillie]

no Breitling wingwalkers or raf Training types either, all pointless.

Keep the BoBMF just for a toilet break and Christian Moullec can come with some tasty birds or was that the wingwalkers in military colours?

[Typhoon40]

No Hercs or American airliners please, no RAF trainers, nothing without re-heat then we're guaranteed an epic show...

No Hercs i love hercs, When i talked to the Japanese, they said they would love to come nxt year and possibly bring some others, so anything from Japense would be nice.

[kif1983]

F22 display coming back to the UK would be nice, didn't get to see them last time.

[Snood]

I'd sell a Kidney to see an A10 & F117. I realise the latter is now a near impossibility.

[twirl2688]

unless you go to a certain place in the usa

[twirl2688]

unless you go to a certain place in the usa

[DanH]

An Aussie Super Bug would be nice.

[sylvancatharsis]

Honduras Air Force IAI-201 Arava.

Shouldn't be too difficult now, eh?

[RMR]

Sunshine.......................................................

[parsley]

Hope the Saudis don't enquire about bringing an E3..after all it's just an American airliner

[Viper-Mk2]

I'd sell a Kidney to see an A10 & F117. I realise the latter is now a near impossibility.

Even tho the last official flight was April 2008 for the F-117 and they dont fly they have been spotted flying over the Nellis Bombing Range in 2010. 2 years after retirement, even tho that was 2 years ago they might be flying over Area 51 as training or something secretive. Maybe in 50 years someone will bring one back into flying condition like we do now with WWII old warbirds.

Id like to see an F22 also, B1. Be nice to see a An-225 do a display or flypast Super Constellation. Convair B-36

[speedbird2639]

Can you imagine how much that would cost? The Vulcan is 'technology' from just after WW2 and it costs and arm and a leg to keep it serviced - and where wld you find a pilot confident enough to get into a plane, which is basically a giant 1980's computer, which would have been maintained by amateurs, and fly it?

[Lightning]

I'd like to see any of the following flying:

SU-27
F-22
B-1B
Antonov transporter of some kind
A-10
Black Eagles (low probability I suppose)
USAF Thunderbirds
A400M
Any soviet-era Mig fighter/bomber
Viggen

...I'm sure there are more

[Traveller]

Open with the BBMF (so I can have a lie in) and the Reds at 1230 (so I can go to lunch)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be amazed if 2013 can be better than this year. But a flying B1 would be top of my wish list, preferably with a roll in its display.

[Agg]

No Hercs i love hercs, When i talked to the Japanese, they said they would love to come nxt year and possibly bring some others, so anything from Japense would be nice.

In that case I would like to see a Mitsubishi F-2

What is with the negativity around the BBMF and the Red Arrows? Seriously, am I the only one who loves the sound and sight of the Lancaster Huricane (when it can make it) and Spitfires?

Oh and I'll have a go at flying the "giant 1980's computer" - I had an Atari 500 and I've had a 1 hour flying lesson so should be well qualified

Familiarity (sometimes) breeds contempt.

They'd be alright with some afterburners attached .The Lancaster just about passes the test as its a B1

[Chris IL-76]

Maybe 'The Russian Knights' could come next year to celebrate 101 years of the Russian Air Force.
Get the visas sorted now and maybe they might make it!!

I know dream on

[vulcan57]

F-22 or even a F-35, although I suspect we won't see that before 2014.
B-1 back at Fairford would be nice, and very nice if flying.
U-2
Anything of Russian origin.
Shackleton would be special, but can't see that happening.
Anything Japanese or any Asian country come to that.
Something from the African continent too.

[capercaillie]

or any Asian country come to that.

Especially the Jordanian Falcons or Saudi Hawks.

That should be classed as treason! They represent the best of British. Here's to the BBMF, Reds and the Vulcan at RIAT 2013.
