Have I missed something? At the moment only the Belgian F16 has been announced - did I miss another self-confirmation?

When was the last time the USAF F16 demo performed at RIAT?

There is no Scottish International air show this year. It is back as a 3-day event in 2020.

Looks like the organisers are using their expertise to run a static event with the Daks - well done to them.

"little trouble", "not difficult" and "easy" - another person in need of an airshow organisation reality check.

"Best thing to do with a problem like Duxford is hit them where it hurts. Their wallet. I used to like going over Duxford when they could capture some real gems, but now its pretty much been the same stagnant seaside filler acts (Rafale/Duxford based warbirds aside) for a few years. Would like ...

Anybody know how this is progressing?
I see that they have secured the Typhoon, but their rather limited website mentions a final decision regarding whether they enough funds to proceed - is it a go?

A lesson for all those that take any airshow asset for granted....B1, comes every year- and then suddenly it didn’t.

18....I was referring to the flying display

"Agree totally, the 27 is a bit of a regular nowadays at RIAT..... think RJF." You have to laugh... an aircraft that hadn't visited RIAT for 20 years finally makes it in 2017 and after only two years it is being dismissed in these terms. I think that some people on here don't have any idea...

"Sign of the Times"? Just had look back at the archive to the well received 2006 RIAT: In addition to the MIG29 OVT & Osprey debut you had - RJF, T67 Firefly, Dutch PC7, Slovenian PC9, PC21 demo, Army Historics, French TBM700, Utterly Butterly Stearmans, RAF Tucano (and the Black Cats ...

It has just been announced that Guernsey's bid for a Red Arrows display on June 6th 2019 has been successful, so the entire Air Display is being moved to that date (1100 - 1315). For those of you who aren't going to Caen to view the Daks!

My, my, what have the Blades done to deserve all this vitriol? "Seaside act"? Cosford, Duxford, Biggin Hill & Dunsfold aren't seaside shows.... the BBMF and Typhoon do more seaside events than the Blades. Maybe they will split the weekend with the RJF, who knows, but I don't consider t...

Much work has been done post Shoreham to protect uninvolved third party and remove secondary crowd from the display area. All displays are producing display areas which are designed to prevent the repeat of this accident. 2018 was the hugely successful display season, in terms of crowd numbers. Shor...

Swiss PC7 Team confirmed on the team website. Great catch for a civvy show.

Very, very nice indeed - F4 and F14 in formation with a 707! Is it an annual event and is (foreign) public easy?

Yep, I'm waiting for that suggestion too.

Make that tens of thousands of airshow attendees. Many multi-day seafront locations see their attendance figures heavily skewed to the day that the Reds display. After fine weather, the Red Arrows are the most popular air show participant, whether some people on this forum like it or not. "seas...

Its not a question of the most suitable venue, it is a question of who is going to pay for the event. From the newspaper clip it appears that Kirkcaldy have a waterfront development to promote. I would just be thankful that Scotland might be getting any kind of seafront air display next year, regard...

See Scottish Air Show thread in the seaside section.

Free to view seaside shows rarely cover their costs - it's all about bringing in visitors and generating economic impact for the local area. Great Yarmouth quoted an economic impact of £10 million this year, which is very bullish. Other similar events hosting around 180,000 spectators would expect b...

18 jets confirmed so far and another 10 possible. Is that every flying classic jet in the UK that isn't a Hunter?

Is this a static event/fly-in event only? No displays?

I expected to see more than one post feeding back on this event - did the loss of the MIGs and SU22s rip the heart out of it for the enthusiast?

And the Blades.....fair play to all those who put on a show on Sunday in the conditions.
Thoroughly enjoyed Saturday - that Sea Fury is a beast.

Indeed, signs for the longevity of this show are not good. It will be a great shame to lose another airfield show.
It is possible that Biggin and Dunsfold may be lost in the same year, neither of which are related to any Shoreham fallout.

Looking at the possible, rather than a "la la land" Wishlist: Fast jets Polish MIG 29 or SU22 - if the Poles decide to work up a display for either next year (and send it abroad). Slovak MIG 29 - if the rumours mentioned in other posts regarding the work up of a new display pilot are true....

I"m genuinely intrigued by this, and always interested in "tips" from the continent. So, do the Romanians use a display line closer than 230m? Do they operate the 450m line for fast jet on-crowd vectors? A "thumping soundtrack"? Hmm, I guess that could go either way. What ti...
