Swedish Sk60 won the King Hussein Memorial Sword for best overall flying demonstration. A worthy winner!
Brilliant news, it was a beautiful, well-flown display, to which commentator Ben Dunnell correctly called was “an aerial ballet”.

Did anyone else see the Gripen that went over Fairford about 45 minutes ago? Did not see it land, any ideas where it has gone?

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread

From memory (whilst making sure the manager wasn’t around in the office!), I saw images of an S208, KC-767, KC-130, P.180, Bell 212, PA-200/Tornado, AMX, P-72, G550AEW, HH-101, HH-139, EF2000, C-27, and a T-346 (not in that order!) Outstanding if all correct!! Nothing flying though, that will make ...

I knew when I caught whiff of some sort of rumour the Italians had confirmed, but no tweet…

“The guys at UKAR will know.”

Very interesting!

Re: Cosford 2022 - your thoughts

Positives - F16 was fantastic in both looks and display, Rafale a very typically polished French fast jet solo display, Lynx was a welcome sight, the A109 had a lovely routine and the RAF Valley contingent was very welcome. Negatives - food prices were astronomical (£6 for a bacon roll is obscene), ...

Re: Arrivals 2022

Disappointing Rafale and F16 have rehearsed.

What do we think are the chances of them rehearsing again tomorrow?

Really hoping they rehearse tomorrow. Obviously going to see it on Sunday, do not get me wrong, but that’s facing the sun.

A question, i'm thinking about heading up by coach tomorrow morning, do you reckon the F-16/Rafale/Typhoon will practice tomorrow? (if they've done so today already?)
More likely to have the F16 and Rafale practice tomorrow. Typhoon has already rehearsed.

Re: Cosford Airshow 2022

Morning all, I too am a little concerned as to the length of the flying display. By my reckoning, that is only about 3 hours of a flying display, which does make me question where the 6 hour display the website marketing team claim is coming from? Another aside; we know the aircraft arrive for stati...

Cynics would say that the £5 discount is a pretty good ploy by DBH, as it could encourage this year's Friday-goers to do next year's Friday as well. The one problem the may find is that they've now set a precedent ( 2008 doesn't count as that was a complete cancellation ) so what happens in future ...

Good point raised with Sky Tanker however; would certainly fill up the static. The static was FULL this year. So full there wasn't space for the Turkish KC-135. Adding more tankers isn't necessarily a good idea... My understanding was that the Turkish KC-135 wasn't over in the static park because i...

This is a very bad idea. The airshow is run for a charity, and on the ticket, it does say the organisers are not responsible for changes due to weather etc.
