Re: RIAT 2024 wishlist.
Tomorrows update ... I've said this a couple of weeks and been wrong so far but .... Canadian Static, like we said previously, hopefully the Aurora and more heavies. As always I could be way off the mark Yes, you could. We could be more adventurous and say Serbian Oraos, Qatari F-15s, Colombian Kfi...

Well lets hope if it does appear they won't try hovering!Morgangalley wrote: ↑Wed 17 Apr 2024, 2:37 pmThe likeliest of the ACC demos imo is the F-35. Only one with a gap in the schedule that has permanent based aircraft in Europe. Would be nice to see how the RAF Role Demo with the B variant compares with the F-35A demo of the usaf.

Great shots, really like the Mi35 and Alouette but I have to be honest I just do not like angled runway shots at all.

Re: Exercise Iniochos 2024
Wow, an impressive selection of types and schemes. Must say the Romanian F-16s look really good but those Qatari Rafales are something else.
Disruptive camos rule.
Super results there Shaun.

Re: SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo :: Wednesday
Wow, there are cerainly a lot of different types on offer there and very well photographed in all the conditions Sean. They've certainly gone to town on the MiG29 paint job, the seaplanes are lovely and the Storch looks dreadful. Good to see a proper Canadian Chippie with the correct canopy as well....

Re: COAP - Solway Special
Nice shots, the Vulcan looks well cared for. Looks like its been kept in a box, along with the crew.
Not sure a big belly Lightning should be wearing 56sqn checkerboard tail markings. I believe the flamboyance ended on their F3s.

Appreciating there may be more this year, Canada have brought one last year and two the year before that. Don't think so.bobby 1211 wrote: ↑Fri 12 Apr 2024, 12:00 pmYes, but the three air arms above usually bring the most static aircraft.

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Very pleased with the Jordanian vipers - although not sure why anyone would prefer a grey Hercules over a lovely sandy camo one? Because I am looking every year since my first (R)IAT in 1995 at the same airframes (344, 345, 346, 347) so yes, I would be very happy with a new Jordanian AF Hercules. E...

Is there any plans for Saab, as sponsors, to display the JAS-39E again to add to this year's Gripen 36th anniversary line up I wonder?
Anybody up for a commemorative Brazilian?

That's a shame, it was always a long shot without support types available, but it would have been nice to see a fifth nation operating them at the Tattoo.

I think its in reference to it being someone either flashing a torch on and off or having a selection of different sized multi-coloured bulbs like you would find in B&Q, as opposed to the latest state of the art flat heap based at Marham.
