Excellent set, and getting me very excited to head over next week!
Not a dig at Fighter Control (one of my most visited forums over the years) but any idea why photos look sharper on UKAR than they do over on FC?

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
Happy with that start, The European F-18 displays are top notch and I think the Finnish one just edges it. I'm very much going to be alone on this but I'd happily take a normal schemed Hawk if the jazzy one can't make it, I know 50 shades of grey and all that. Apart from a few standout specials over...

Re: RIAT 2023 wish list
Yeah I agree with that. Ramex Delta were nicely positioned up the Western End in 2015.
From todays on-going discussions it'd be cool if the German Army could send a Tiger over.

Off the top of my head I don't think we've had any French front liners on static since the F1 pair a decade ago.

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
As with the trainer theme last year, I think thats a very clever theme for the organisers to go with. Looking forward to seeing what the next few months hold.

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
Dare I remind people that the ACC schedule listed both the A-10 & F-35 Demo Teams, and Heritage Flight, for RIAT 2022 and neither materialised? I won't be getting excited until it's on the RIAT website. B-52 rules that you cant get excited until its on the tarmac. French Atlantique rules that y...

Re: The best airshow line up of all time?
That I've personally been too it has to be RIAT 97. I'm not an advocate of comparing what we get now too what we used to get back then as the circumstances are just worlds apart, however a few days ago I was having a nostalgic glance over the checklist from that show. We were blessed.

Re: AIRPOWER22 - Zeltweg, Austria
You have a major bone against RIAT for some reason. So much so that you spent Pages polluting Fighter Control pre-RIAT with your strange obsession of using previous Zeltweg shows to 'attempt' to knock RIAT and now you're bringing it over here. Zeltweg have just pulled out a belter of an update, cele...

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
One little detail that impressed me: I am told by a former air cadet that at the crack of dawn on departures day, a thousand of them are scouring the tarmac for foreign objects that could be ingested by the departing aircraft. It is not something that really crosses anybody's mind yet it is so impo...

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Loved being back, sad its over but the 3 days I was there have drained me ever since I got back home on Saturday evening. Austrian QRA, Black Eagles and the Spanish EF-18 were my flying display picks. Too many highlights in the static park. My only real negative is the same as what I had when coming...

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Just home, absolutely drained but loved being back.
Austrian QRA is quite possibly the best display I have ever seen.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The Austrians absolutely smashed it out of the park, whilst not including the almost cobra like maneuver seen at Leuchars - it still re-confirmed their QRA demo as the best Typhoon demo in the world. Shows just how restricted and conservative the RAF display really is - and it was performed with a ...

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
What a massive kick in the teeth that is. Pretty much the only thing that was keeping the 'USAF 75th' theme together. Not sure about that. The E-4 is probably one of Air Tattoo’s greatest ever pulls of the modern era. But yes, it’s a big loss from the flying/static. Poor DBH. The E-4 is a superb ca...
