Re: Beja Portuguese AF show 1-2 June
just shaping up to have a decent lineup, national display teams, fast jet demos. Couteau Delta etc. Think I saw Patrulla Águila, gripen display, typhoon display fro European Airshows. Could be more Indeed, looks decent! I was more wondering where a participation list was, as there doesn’t seem to b...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Maybe, but the F-22 is busy RIAT weekend anyway, so it’s a bit moot this year. Whilst I do think the ACC demos *should* attend RIAT, I’m probably in a bit of a minority in that I’m not bothered that they don’t. The F-16 display is trounced by better European demos, the F-35 doesn’t really do much fo...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Seems like this all came about with the Biden administration , prior to this it seemed business as usual.. I highly doubt it’s got anything to do with any particular administration. One could equally say that an insular “we don’t travel” policy is rather more Trumpian, given his “America First” sta...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
2012 - 2015 had none that I recall. In that context, a two-show gap (three if this year sees none) that we’re currently in doesn’t sound so exceptional. It fluctuates. I would imagine it’s also multi-faceted; for example the F-35 demo team may periodically attend European shows because the Americans...

Re: FRIAT 2024
It says we “may” lose access, not “will”, but I agree. I’m not sure how that makes a difference from a security point of view at all. Everyone passes through the same gate/checks. It’s just that FRIATers get to go through that entrance up to those security gates 30 mins early, and then the punters j...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Driving through the rainy Swedish countryside this week, Mr. R and I agreed that a grey Jordanian C-130 could be quite cool for the sake of variety. It also may be one of those cool “snapshot in time” images you have on your hard drive if, in future, they repaint them into desert camo like the other...

Re: Topic of the week #99 - Anyone for a flake?
Seaside shows are not usually my bag (mostly just because of geography/participation) so a selection from Rhyl in 2013 and Weston in 2018. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gh0c49pu99jtbjkgosse1/DSC_0331.jpg?rlkey=m69rgw7q6znzjl0oa8wlonk98&raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/a9zsd86dj9c0a88cmdkxn/...

Re: Cosford Airshow 2024 - 9th June 2024
…now that it is going to riat/ duxford and now old buckenham it does steal some of Cosfords thunder I’m not sure it does, does it? Or if it does, does it matter? Perhaps it does, idk. In my opinion, it’s far more encouraging that the RAF appears to be building confidence to perform the F-35 at lots...
