Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Is there an accepted definition between what the difference between a display and role demonstration is? As per RA 2335: Display Flying. Any flying activity designed to demonstrate an Aircraft’s performance beyond that normally carried out during routine operations and training, whether or not it i...

Re: Non-Existent Customer Support from RIAT and/or RAFCTE
Disappointing to hear this consistently poor customer service. Personally now been waiting over two months for a response now in light of a few disappointments to the FRIAT experience in 2023. Other than out of offices and the generic FRIAT emails, still nothing... The website enquiry form hasn't ga...

Re: FRIAT Forum
CAP403 states that a public address system, "when installed, must be audible throughout the whole Spectator Area" - never quite understood how this is permitted to happen unless it doesn't directly translate across to MAA events? Seems to me like best practice though IMHO. As has been said...

Re: Vulcan XH558 to leave Doncaster, possible ferry flight
A seismic announcement this morning, particularly as it is specifically unrelated to the ongoing uncertainty around the future of the airport. I, too, would be surprised to see a ferry flight given the complexity of the aircraft and the maintenance that would now be required, but dare say it is good...

Some excellent shots here, thanks for posting these. This was my second RIAT and I have some vivid memories of this event despite being so young at the time. Real halcyon days thats for sure.

Re: Cool Moves
Concur with a couple of those already mentioned. There's so many choices, but the MiG-29 OVT backflipping at Fairford in 2006 is a standout for me, as was the first demonstration of C-27J aerobatics we saw in 2011. Nothing cool about it but the infamous manoueuvre in the Typhoon rehearsal at RIAT 20...

Re: FIA 2020 Participants
Sad to see the most famous UK airshow venue in such a state of disarray. As an aside, its interesting to see the event's 72-year history eagerly quoted by the organisers whilst discussing their present situation - I tend to wonder if this heritage is genuinely recognised the rest of the time, especi...

Re: UPDATED 07.02 - Flying Legends retrospective - *1997*
Ended up watching the home video myself recently, one of the small perks of lockdown!
In said P-51 sequence, it looked like Dave Southwood was in the cockpit of a 'Memphis Belle film' green Mustang so presumably he was the pilot of Paul Morgan's example?

Also not major, admittedly, but a good quality webcam nonetheless where you might catch the odd glimpse of something.

Re: RIAT 2019
Very bizzare logic in those Tweets 'justifying' the Friday price hike. Given the number of departures listed post-display I guess that fairly small total includes GA day visitors... Surely in that case Monday P&V tickets should be seriously expensive if the whole ticket pricing strategy is based...
