To be even clearer, it's not because US forces operate on Zulu time, it's because it's the (aviation) shorthand for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) (not, by the way, GMT). They use it because everyone uses it, it's the global standard time. It means there's no ambiguity when talking about times as ...

In our latest episode we literally fail to get past our opening segment, for nearly an hour and a half.

DIsastrous release. This is why we don't pre-order things.

On the matter of FRIAT: We're joined by RIAT's Simon Hough, Head of Customer Experience and Peter Reoch, Head of Air Operations to discuss the FRIAT changes. https://soundcloud.com/ukairshowreview/episode-84?si=7428511da286418691fa015e595b7ce2&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_cam...

We're joined by RIAT's Simon Hough, Head of Customer Experience and Peter Reoch, Head of Air Operations to discuss the FRIAT changes.

We discuss some 2025 updates:

We put the world to rights about social media and airshow food

Moved this to Historic Aviation

It's been a while but we're back with three delightful airshow reviews for you!

So, what, the Americans got scared there'd be foreign people around or what?

"But we will lose the money from the movements sheets, and...the charity, or something". Hard to imagine DBH dropping a moneymaker. Your proposal should be an absolute no-brainer, quite frankly, especially given the whole sustainability message and focus on tech and STEM. Very stubborn to ...

Would it need to be neutered for UK Mil display regs though? I don't know, I am not an expert in that field.

Unlikely. It displayed at Paris last year too.

As I gather, it's actually a case of Sanicole being prepared to pay the USAF for the displays where RIAT aren't. Certainly last year's USAF F-35 demo was a decent display by American standards, certainly all the hype and bluster about it was over-egged. It was an average display by European standard...

Remains to be seen what its location is, but perhaps I did naively think they'd wait at least one year before filling that spot with an expensive enclosure for appearance's sake.

Other countries are welcome to organise it! But they aren't...

Genuine question, did anyone see any of these representatives in the marquee over the whole weekend that were supposedly coming to talk to FRIAT about the package?

Seems like a few people here don't have a concept of the passage of time! Just because something is known in this moment doesn't mean it has been known forever...

Just listening the podcast. If anyone’s to blame for the cancellations it’s Sam.

‘I’ve never seen a show with such few cancellations’

9am local

It says 0800 L though which is 8am local

We air our thoughts on this in our latest podcast episode

It's our 2024 RIAT preview episode! We look forward to the upcoming show (with a couple of now out-of-date lines about cancellations...👀) and our expectations, but we also talk about the shocking changes to the FRIAT package for 2025, especially in light of all the recent reductions in value of the ...

I believe the two at Lakenheath are the airshow birds and the two at Mildenhall are on delivery to Qatar. Do you know the registrations of the airshow airframes? I have QA536 and Qa538 down at the moment, but they might be the ones on delivery? The ones at LN are the 536 and 538, and should be the ...

Genuinely funny haha
