Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread

F-35 display?

Fat Amy plodding around the sky for 10 minutes (5 of those transitioning to a hover), lord no! Let it stop, and get a Harrier to do the job. Hover, go backwards, bow, Viffing.

Sorry, but a loo break time for me.

JMC, you can be whatever and whoever you want! 'Got to happen one day' doesnt mean this year, next or anytime soon. Yup, there's a war on, and i hope that the more level heads than those that have prevailed to date, get round a table for a batch of 'jaw jaw, not war war' sooner than later. Meanwhile...

'The face of things to come'

Firstly, apologies to the mods if you feel this is in an incorrect location but i shall try to keep on subject, and that is RIAT, and the seeming possibility of RIAT becoming very 'sterile' in the next 5-10 years. With the USA, now supplying seemingly anyone and everyone with the F-35 and it's versi...

Maybe get 3 or 4 like minded individuals to go with you, and get a minivan? It's amazing how much cheaper these road trips get if 3-4 of you share costs.
