Is that not just the visor covers design announcement?

The French two-ship demo teams should release their schedules next week, just a few international events. I dont think they have ever sent demos to two different shows in the same country in the same year apart from 2018. Also, I dont think Requin Mike is even displaying this year so that only leave...

they wont attend RIAT, imo only static from the French this year.

Russian Tu-22M3 crashed this morning after getting hit. Link to video :

the schedule is not official, more of a 'leak' which is already inaccurate. It was first published on Twitter on the 9h of April,Su-22s and Mig-29s will only be present at a handful of events, all in Poland.

RAF Falcons have said their display schedule will release this week so I am guessing that is tomorrows update.

JHC has also started to allocate their assets to airshows, so the Wildcat demo team is also likely, and lets not forget about the RAF Tutor which is still to be confirmed.

This airshow is looking very good so far! I would dare say ... rivaling RIAT in the flying program.

What else is on the list?

Super Tucano, Couteau Delta, Hungarian Gripen, RAF Falcons, Romanian F-16, Spanish Typhoon, Patrulla Aguila, Pat Suisse and USAF F-15.

Finnish Hornet schedule is out, no RIAT.

Better warn the B-52 pilot that flew past last year! Edit* I understand it means the ACC. That well and truly sucks. Are we likely to see an USAF F-16s, such as the Nellis Aggressors? We are very unlikely to see US based fast jets, due to the participation policies explained, and also the practical...

According to FRIAT write up, No flying bulls this year due to cost vs themes, also USAF aircraft are not allowed to cross into Europe just for an airshow, so any US based fast jet is very unlikely :/

F-15 should be performance take off, flypasts and landing.
Something like this :

They are definitely flybys, flightline UK even suggested static

With tonight's events I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan cancelled its participation.

Yes, but the three air arms above usually bring the most static aircraft.

It's only April and the static display is already looking really good, so many gems and aircraft that haven't been seen for many years, can't wait to see what's not been announced yet

the RAF, Canadian Air Force and USAF should bulk it up even more.

In their bio it says they are flying both solo and as a pair this year.

Yes, the Swiss demo schedules seem to be always final. I cant remember the last time they added a show later on. We should see the French solo demo schedules soon followed by the pair displays in late April/Early May, hopefully theres something for RIAT.

Well with no Swiss Hornet either, only the French demos could still save this show, unless they get something from outside of Europe.

Hellenic and Hungarian air forces added as “ongoing” Zambian air force now not participating.

Hungarian Air Force was added last week.
Also Bulgarian Air Force added as ongoing.

Today could be a pretty big update (Canadian static aircraft, Royal Norwegian Air Force, Polish Air Force, Swiss Air Force and German Air Force)

2 out of 5, must try harder

Next week I'll get 100%
Zambian Air Force not participating BTW.

Today could be a pretty big update (Canadian static aircraft, Royal Norwegian Air Force, Polish Air Force, Swiss Air Force and German Air Force)

Red Arrows, Tutor, Chinook, Falcons and imo the Black Cats will fill the Friday updates until May. That leaves 4 more Takeoff Fridays. Most of the demo team schedules are already out none at set to display at Cosford. They might get lucky and get the Swiss F/A-18C or the French Rafale but I doubt it...

I managed to book a return flight from Gatwick to LA for £400. Now I only need to get a cheap motel in the area + car hire. Can't wait.
