Couple of questions regarding yesterday's forum. How do they know they are about 30 mins over for flying if there are still 9 updates to go? And is the 200 aircraft number a rough estimate? As from looking at the confirmed aircraft page on RIAT website there is only about 80 -90 aircraft on there a...

Still a lot more to be announced but it will be a bit smaller than normal by the looks of it. Obvs i’m not just querying your comment, but is this based on anything? Has anyone gone and totted up numbers of confirmed aircraft at this stage in previous years? Genuine qu, because to me things feel pe...

I think most people’s advice in here would be for them to get to the car park as early as they can, it opens at 6am so I wouldn’t really be getting there any later than 7am if they want time to walk round static and not miss any of the show, the show ground itself closes at either 7 or 7:30 pm I can...

A few of the comments suggesting that the image has hints to shows they may be going to, for example, the roundel looks Greek so maybe Athens, palm trees, Malta, wheel maybe RIAT, two polish flags, the two shows in Poland, Radom / lezno etc, what do people think?

Seems like it, think Rafale translates to something like gust or wind or something like that

Mega update this week, for all those asking about Phantoms, remember last year the F16s were announced first and we got Phantoms weeks late

Well that’s not confusing at all….

Hello everyone, Bit of photography question here, I've been using a 70-300mm lens for many many years now and it still doesn't reach that zoom I want for the Solo demonstrations so I'm looking to get a bigger telephoto lens. I've seen the Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM, which seems reasonable for...

The Spanish Navy are usually quite quick to confirm if they are sending the Harrier so I’m gonna go with that

It says the Confirmed Aircraft page was last updated today... what's changed (if anything) as I haven't been keeping up to date at all? The entire block of text at the top has been updated / added, used to say "updates are planned to start im February 2025" with a few other bits, a lot mo...

Just want to liven up the forum a bit. reading the email, they already have “exciting additions” lined up ready to announce so I’m interested what y’all think they could be? What usually confirms around this time? Post Covid, the Spanish have normally been very early to confirm if they have flying ...

Saves the pain of everyone and their dog shouting "THERE IS A GAP"

Noise in local groups stating some aircraft movements in the coming days / weeks, will be light aircraft but sounds promising

With the announcement of the theme here would be my top 5 (ish) picks:

A-50 Beriev (Would be massive)
E2 Hawkeye
Chilean E3D
Wedgetail of some kind (RAF and or Australian)
P3 back in the static!

It was clear from the weather models that the weather was going to be as it turned out today, very light showers with cloud at about 2k

I mean it’s already 1400 on METAR so

Which weather forecast do you lot find to be the most accurate? Everyone I know is saying the Norwegian one, YR, is the most accurate (well, as accurate as you can be). They say rain Saturday Not seen that one before, looks interesting. Just checked and it's currently giving rain 6pm onwards Saturd...

The KC10 is here!! woop woop

its interesting the sheer disagreement between models and runs, last night looked quite frankly rubbish and this morning looks great, i just dont think they know how far east the band of rain will make it and where, if any, showers will break out

None of them at the moment haha

If you wanted to ruin your day, read the live chat on the Planes TV live stream

Do i even want to know whats being said?

GFS model definitely playing with the idea of some rain around 4pm on the Saturday, the Arpege and met office saying it will come later in the day, we shall see what happens as everything is still disagreeing

IF times are Zulu it could actually a 9am start maybe?

Planes TV stream is for a 9am local start so would make sense
