Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread

Brilliant day.
Frecce were brilliant as always, Black Eagles were brilliant,the end break to land is fantastic.
Austrian Typhoon Demo bets fast jet Demo,Really impressive.
Best solo i would day Zues or swiss Hornet imo.
Well done to organisers,brilliant mix.

Re: FRIAT 2023 ticket increases discussion

I guess in the end the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. If DBH have got this right, then FRIAT will sell out again for 2023 and they can say the changes were justified. If FRIAT doesn't sell out (remember, it's choice to buy in to it) then they will - just from a purely business point of...

Re: FRIAT 2023 ticket increases discussion

Once you've experienced RIAT as a FRIAT member, you may be unlikely to want to go back to experiencing general admission - I wish I had done FRIAT right from my first attendance in the mid-1990s. I won't go back to standard admission. I'm too old for the scrum now. I've never done FRIAT, mostly bec...

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread

I wouldn’t say different was the right word :laughing: Would it really be that big of a miss when we’ve seen the same display for years on end? There’s always a chance it’ll return in future (French demo/perhaps Airbus) Depends on what way you look at it i guess, I go as a Family and the kids love ...

Just a quick question,

Of course, the Airbus A400M from airbus themselfs has attended pretty much every RIAT since 2011, but does the team even still exist? As how far I've read and seen, RIAT 19 was their last show?
I was hoping to see this also , Something different.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread

Considering a lot of countries now Have F35s (Including uk) you would like to think we might see one in the air.
With USAF pulling the RIAT one off their list i guess our best bet is a Marham jet.
That said the line up is still great imo.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread

Also I hope the flying display will be extended to end later, rather than to start sooner. When the sun has gone out of position, which is always a good move. :thumbsup: They should put out an announcement saying what the new times are. I think I actually recall someone from DBH saying in 2018 that...

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread

Quite a few Display teams now or Demos which take a lot more slot time. At this rate i think they might have a problem with fitting everything in tbh. I used the approximate display times from what is available on youtube and got about 5 hours with only confirmed aircraft ( + TBC Czech gripen, Czec...

I think the squadrons deployed to Poland/TLP are the SJ birds and the 493rd? I’ve not kept abreast of things, but I think the 492nd and 494th are both “home” and active as it were. I went up in early February and had a rubbish day - two passes from a Texan 😂 But others have had some absolutely ston...

Re: Another Wattisham round up.

Had loads of Apaches down this way of late( Essex).

Think the lack of Civvie aircraft that normally own the busy skies above us had helped.
