Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
The Firecat is a really lovely little gem. Midnight Hawks are lovely too. As awesome as the F-18C is from them, for the sake of variety, it’s nice to have that team back. With them, the Reds, and rumoured Saudis, it’s nice to see so many legacy Hawks in the air for the (unofficial) Hawk 50th year. ...

Re: FRIAT 2024
On Friday the aircraft in red and blue areas are in place so you can walk to FRIAT from the car parks. Green zone is still live so to get from the green car park you use the internal shuttle bus. On Monday FRIAT run a walking bus across from blue gate only to get into the stand. Morning is ok becau...

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
All good! And apart from a very enjoyable visit from and chinwag with this forum's very own Nige Watson, who spent a bit of time with us and learned first hand a bit about what goes into getting a 50's fighter jet working again, that was it for Saturday. It was enjoyable indeed! absolutely fascinat...

Ah that's a great shame, I had everything crossed that Legends could settle in to Church Fenton.

Re: Cosford Airshow 2024 - 9th June 2024
Yes, me too. Its not so much the lack of updates that bothered me, rather what was ultimately presented.
I usually buy Cosford Club quite early. I'll hang fire for a while I think.
I'm rooting for Cosford, hopefully they can get back on form in 2024.

Re: RIAT 2024 wishlist.
I'd love the Blue Angels to tour Europe again. European tours were a regular thing up to 92, on a similar sort of cadence to the Thunderbirds. I suppose it'll take somebody in high command to want to make it happen. Of course the USAF has a much larger presence in Europe than the USN, which would ex...

About 4 hours. As opposed to 8 hours plus at the weekend. It is (mostly) made up of things that will feature at the weekend too.sharkyofcutsh wrote: ↑Wed 25 Oct 2023, 12:13 pmHow long does the flying typically last for on the Friday for RIAT?

Re: Best Grandstand seat for FRIAT 2024
As Hammerhead has pointed out, you can't book FRIAT for a single day. Its a 5 day package. Maybe one of the other enclosures will suit you. The public grandstand isn't ideal for photography as its quite a long way back from the crowd line, but the garden enclosure in front of it is great for a singl...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Typical marketing to induce panic buying .... at the moment no aircraft are confirmed ....."buy a ticket and secure a spot to look at an empty airfield" 😂 That’s a bit unfair. You’re buying tickets for RIAT and RIAT is what you will get. Its safe to say there will be an international airs...

Re: The annual UKAR meetup
I'm still in awe. Any man who can walk the RIAT static park in flip flops is more of a man than I'll ever be.
I hope the sunshine shows up and you get chance to be that daft again Ian!

Re: Cosford Airshow 2023 (discuss everything)
Good review, one small thing though. The French Parachute team jumped from a Short Skyvan not the Herc that the Falcons jumped from. Seemed to be pretty fair and balanced, which might have been hard given the complaints leading up to the show day. AAh yes, of course! my apologies and thanks for the...

yes, but the queue isn't too challenging on Thursday! Blue entrance, as normal.bishbashbosh wrote: ↑Tue 11 Jul 2023, 7:02 amI’m thinking about doing the grandstand this year on Thursday rather than P&V. I assume it’s the same procedure as on the Monday, just turn up at the blue entrance shortly before the gates open and join the queue?

Re: Flying Legends 2023 - 15-16 July - Leeds East/Church Fenton
It’s ironic that the show has moved from Duxford’s awkward crowdline and obscured view of the runway to recreate a similar set-up at Church Fenton. Hopefully like Duxford the compensation will be in close up views of taxying aircraft.
Looking at the map, I wouldn’t know where to head for!

FRIAT seemed to be pushing the left luggage option but I've had mixed results when I've used it in the past. One year was flawless, another year they lost my bag for about 45 mins. I also don't much fancy the scrum to collect first thing in the morning. They do seem to be pushing it, encouraging me...

Is it possible to get a taxi to departures on the Monday? Or even on arrivals day(s)? I'd like to do it next year, I know you can't get a taxi on show days though as there is no drop off point. I’d imagine so Jason, there isn’t a great deal of traffic around on non show days, and no one ways or tra...

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I don't think we need long lists repeating here when they'e available elsewhere and at the least on the front page of this thread.
Another ace update today, and the Saab a few posts up looks fab. I wouldn't mind at all if they sent that.

I received my FRIAT passes today, any reason why we no longer get the 10% discount card (or whatever discount it was) for merchandise sold inside the FRIAT enclosure ? Good point. I never even realised it wasn't in there! According to the blurb on the website https://www.airtattoo.com/friends/packa...
