I keep dipping in and out of this stream and some of the comments and questions are staggering!!

According to her last tweet, Carol Vorderman should be wearing a skirt or a dress at RIAT today but she cannot fly wearing either of these, so if anyone sees her getting out of her aircraft today can we get a photo on the photos thread please!! Enjoy the weekend all!!

OK found the right thread!! So it was there alright but why? I noticed on another forum that an E-3 landed at MAN on 19th May 2014, does anyone know why? Is this routine or do I have to sign the official secret's act to find out??

A work colleauge reports an E-3 Sentry flying around the Manchester airport area at circa 6.00pm last Wednesday 2nd July. Anyone got any info on this and why it was there??

When did the Russian Knights cancel? I must have missed this one.been looking for the photo's!!

Fantastic shot! It is so crisp in that weather, but begs a question - just what are those batwings sticking up above the enging housing doing? Surely they are way too small to be of any braking assistance? Or are they to break up the airflow over the wings? Im sure one of you experts out there knows...

Some really great shots here, watch out for those damnn low flying speakers though.

privatepile, do you rent out your garden for RIAT? If you can get shots like that you may end up with a few quid if you do, specially if you offer 'on base' parking.

Alex C, Delta Papa et al, I sympathise. I gave up after the 2010 security fiasco. SORELY tempted to go this year given the line up ( weather put me off ) but cannot stand the misery of getting in, and it seems if you get there early ( so you can get a good spot on the crowdline ) you get penalised! ...

Are we due a Tiger meet? Seems from the pics there were a few Tiger-ish schemes on view this year.Cold War jets would be good.Any chance we can get the Blue Angels over for a head to head with the (returning to defend their trophy's ) Black Eagles?

I did not go to RIAT this year because of the long queues, waiting to get in to the base, waiting to get in at the security barrier mularky last year, also because there was no BIG item on the display list. Sounds like I made the right decision. Can anyone say if the security and getting in had impr...

Going back to the first post on this thread, you were going to collate a reply to Rob Windsor on our 'collective' comments and issues on RIAT 2010. Any progress since? have you heard back from Rob?

Although I wasn't there the funniest would have to be that video of the B1 take off field carnage. Funniest thing used to be trying to wonder what airfield the USAF were displayed over, rather than the intended one! Any chance you can point me in the direction of said video clip Spiny Norman?

I am curious, like it seems a fair few others on here, as to what efforts those who want more more more, think RIAT have made, and should make. It seems to me, that some see it as oh so simple, when the reality is it is not. So rather than saying it's bad, suggest how (and not why) it could be bett...

Cheers Swingy

Ever been to Edwards? It always seems from the web blurb that it has the most stuff going on?

I have been attending UK airshows for 40 odd years but never been to any in the USA. Obviously quite a few of you guys ( and gals ) have so............. Recommendations ?( top 5 must visit shows ) How is security - RIAT 2010 experience or more relaxed / more tedious? Costs - RIAT level / FRIATlevel ...

Night show would be excellent And as they have balloons there so would a balloon glow. The days are long though and the staff need a break + time is also required to get the airfield uptogether for the following day. Jezza While I agree with offering up solutions to problems encountered I have to s...

I think,personally, some of the powers that be decided that this year "Let's try something different", never mind if people moan , they'll still turn up on the day because we've already got their ticket money in the bank since we made entry "Advance tickets only". I just can't b...

ISSUE 1 - WHAT TIME DID YOU SAY YOU STARTED QUEUEING!? Subject - Queues, Queue Jumpers and getting through the Gate. Firstly some assumptions ( which can be challenged and shape the debate ) 1. Most people at the front of the queue are 'enthusisasts' 2. Everyone at the front wants to be first to th...

I was actually just about to PM A member of the UKAR staff when Kieron started this thread so I didnt end up messaging one of them yet. I say we just kep the thread going, people write what they think whilst trying to keep it sensible and concise. I have already offered to collate information from ...

I'm new to the forum but I have read with interest the comments posted regarding the show. I come from Northern Ireland and as you may know airshows over here are few and far between, as they say. So you can imagine coming to RIAT was just a dream come true for me. So as a complete RIAT virgin here...

Morning all, Yesterday, Rob Windsor replied on the 'RIAT 2010 Feedback' thread stating that if we collate our queries and issues about this year's RIAT together, this can be passed on to a meeting later in the next month. So I thought I'd start the thread asking you about your TWO biggest issues ab...

I think a new thread is definitly the way to go, with clearly defined description of what to submit. Thinking the thread should be started by a Mod/Administrator as it is a Submittal from UKAR and so it should be managed by the site. The idea is a good one and I for one are very appreciative of the...
