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?

Re: Catch them while you can...
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.

Or preferably they could bring something altogether better like [...] T-41 [...] Agreed, the Kaan is incredibly ugly and really just looks like a bad F-22 ripoff, I'd prefer the named aircraft in this list over the Kaan anyday!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and plenty would be having an accident in their pants if the ugliest of them all - the A-10 - was to show up. Variety is the spice of life after all.

With the Kaan now flying, Turkey ongoing and the 'Pushing the Boundaries' theme, it would be nice to see one in the flying display. Big wish, I know.

Re: RIAT 2024 wishlist.
A Bulgarian SU-25 would be the best addition to RIAT since perhaps the Flanker returning to the flying after an absence of 18 years in 2017. When was the last time one was seen at Fairford? The Czech ones in 1994 perhaps? The Czechs are the only ones to ever bring Frogfoots to RIAT events, with one...

A nice homage to the prototypes/demonstrators which seems to be missed in the article.
They'll be missed unless the Brazilians can work miracles.
