First of all: Please excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes, I'm Swiss and not british… As every year since '95 I've enjoyed RIAT very much, for me still the best airshow in the world. Where else you find such a come together of different air arms from so many different countries. I just love it! This...

But didn't show "La Bomba", as they didn't yesterday...

Btw now on the website...

About the E-3: A RIAT-Official was telling it to his friends in the P&V East. I was close by them...

E-3 Awacs cancelled today...

For those of you who planned to attend the axalp airshow this year: It has been cancelled in respect to those members of the swiss air force who had been killed in recent accidents, and their families.

I wonder if and when there will be any confirmation on the status of the PdS following last weeks accident. I imagine it's too late now to fill the slot anyway, but whilst looking at the photos from Leuwaarden I noticed that the Turkish Stars were there. How long is it since they last appeared at F...

It is my understanding that after such incidents, specific aircraft types may be grounded or the Team performances suspended whilst investigations take place. I think in this case, if they know it was a collision, grounding would be highly unlikely. The team on the other hand would obviously be loo...

Swiss F/A-18 is flying at a Wake Board-Event in Murten, Switzerland, on July 9th....

Looks like we'll have the Bryze (Polish Navy) on static display, according to http://airshowinfo.hu/hirek/en/news/item/341-polish-navy-airshow-participations-in-poland-and-in-europe.html

The Patrouille Suisse will probably be part of RIAT2016, as a source of mine told me last week. But we'll have to wait for official confirmation...

B-1B

Under skyview.aero, where you can buy the tickets, it says that a F-18 and Al Fursan are confirmed. Furthermore I got a tweet where the Frecce were announced. And on the USAF Demo Team website it says that the Raptor should appear as well... Anyway, looking forward to it. At least the weather looks ...

Back to the "New Country" topic: Since we know this country is Qatar having announced its C130 a few weeks earlier, does the tweet say DBH is awaiting confirmation of another aircraft from them?

For example the French Navy Role Demo?? C'mon DBH!

Be aware, this are the prices if buying the tickets in advance (sFr. 22.- per day, sFr. 40.- per weekend). At the gate prices are 33% higher (33.-/60.-)!!!

Yes, there are no special enclosures despite a designated spotters area, which has been sold out already...

Is it known which aisle is up to the seats and which one down to ground?

Russian Knights at the first weekend...

Coming over from Switzerland for my 18th RIAT this summer...

Will they be flying the ILA display all over the season? They have always heavily modified their sequence for ILA to comply with the German strict post-Ramstein flying rules, but got back to their "normal" routine afterwards. Yes, they will. This is their new program for their 50th displa...

Greek Zeus F-16 Demoteam for the second weekend...
