Thinking of doing FRIAT this year and was wondering if anyone had an idea if when you are in the FRIAT enclosure do you have to use your allocated seat always or can you rock up and stand or sit on the grass infront of the grandstand ? You can choose, use your seat or stand/sit in the grass section...

I found the whole thing rather gloomy reading. If they have not managed to learn the lessons from the last 50 years there really is not much hope. It's like every year gets more a battle - you pay a bit more to relieve some of the stress and now that's threatened. The farce with the cars entering th...

Don't want to copy all the other posts, but regarding the point about a Lockheed F-16 display - I always thought manufacturers displays were about promoting a given aircraft from a sales POV. Is the F-16 even built new anymore?

Yes

Tickets for the show and grandstand etc are now for sale if you register.

Some spectacular images there - thanks for the info

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Ukrainian F16 sneaking on to the end of the line as near as it can get to any NATO line up to make a political statement. I think Ukraine has other priorities than making a political statement at an airshow Yes and no - July is still probably early for F16s to be oper...

Translation of Swedish Air Force post: School airplane 60 (SK 60) has trained generations of pilots and has been used for over 60 years in the Air Force. In June this year, SK 60 will be dissolved, which Luftstridsskolan recognizes with various activities during the spring and summer. On Tuesday, Ju...

Would be great to have a new FRIAT award for 'lifetime' achievement- entertainment call it what you will... seems a real shame for it all to pass by without some form of public recognition

There are pictures of it in Rota earlier this month with three AW101s on deck.

I have not received it

Yes - this was a really great show. And with a new camera I managed to screw up my first Super Hornet vapour cone!

Over the lifetime of the project.... US deliveries will continue to at least 2044 and the aircraft is expected to be in operation to at least 2070.

Thanks Dave - you have to be happy with those

Here is some info from LAST YEAR'S local media just to give an idea of end times and rough costs. Grandstand does not seem excessive. Parking, admission and blanket seating are free, but upgraded seating options can be purchased starting at $9 for the grandstand up to $263 for an “elite” package. Th...

Anyone interested in baseball and going to Miramar - single event tickets for 24-25-26 September Dodgers v Padres go on sale today.

Nice shots Derek it's always good when a concert exceeds your expectations. It was a bumper year last year for me in Sweden - there were still some catching up with delayed Covid events. This year is not looking so good though, far fewer Uk bands coming at the moment - the costs to tour Europe are h...
