Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread

Re: FRIAT 2023 ticket increases discussion

I’ve never done FRIAT and won’t now which is a shame, I’ve always done arrivals, departures and sometimes a show day(normally Saturday) and most of the weekend is spent sat at the campsite!! I like just sitting back chilling and watching the aircraft coming and going, I’m slightly bothered by the pr...

Blimey Chopper here's hoping you have a great show! And for me the B-52 brings the first chance for me to see it in the skies for the first time since RIAT 2006! (I don't drive so i'm unable to get down to Fairford). Having it flying in the show, is much different to as you say a take off - doing a...

Park & View at each end of the runway, East at 27 & West at 09. Get there early, tend to fill up rather quickly. Until Thursday evening, there's absolutely no way of knowing where anything will be parked. Cheers The better half wishes us to arrive at P&V around 9am, is that likely to be...
