Re: RIAT 2019

Rather unusually, the Patrouille de France and Red Arrows are displaying back-to-back on Friday. I wonder if there’s a chance they’ll form up for a joint flypast Would be nice but don't forget they don't always fly in the order they're printed. Typhoon could split them for example. That’s why it’s ...

Also the Sunday display starts at 10am and will be finished before 5pm... From the program (as posted above) looks like the first act takes off at...

Re: RIAT 2019

I assume it was just heat soak on the brakes so that in itself isn’t a major issue. The thing that would concern me is where the extinguishant has worked it’s way into.

Flankers should be Blue 39 and 71. Candid should be 76683. (2 out of 3 are different to the last two years).

Re: RIAT 2019

Some interesting points from the sheet of lies: No Turkish Phantoms, MiG, or Sukhoi arriving today, and it would appear the USAF F-16’s are coming from Shaw AFB.

Re: RIAT 2019

If it was something this the Beluga XL or A380, then why keep it a secret? They’d sell more tickets by announcing it and it’s not like it’s ‘sensitive’ information or anything... IF another flypast happens on Sunday I’ll put money on it being the B-2 again, or a U-2.

Yep, The Weather Channel. It’s still showing Thunderstorms for Saturday (and currently showing the worst it has so far).

Jordanian Herc has landed at Brize and is sporting a special blue tail design, which could include ‘Air Tattoo’ markings (not confirmed, just from distant pictures shared on Facebook). Some better photos have been posted in the Nutters group, there’s the Union Flag and the Jordanian flag with the R...

Re: RIAT 2019 weather watch.

With the possibility of thunderstorms on Saturday, are there any rules for lightning and people in grandstands? I’ve never been in a that situation here in the U.K. but in the U.S. at big sporting events, if there’s a lightning strike within 8 miles of the venue, everyone must evacuate the grandstan...

Re: RIAT 2019 weather watch.

Doesn't have to be all negative about the weather, the rain could even come as a refreshing relief in the coming heatwave - remember that tropical rain shower in 1994? I've still got one of those German Army shirts that were being flogged off for 50p a pop, trader must have made a killing that day!...

Re: RIAT 2019 weather watch.

Met Office says you might get a few showers on Wednesday night, but no rain on Thursday and Friday day. Rain is then forecast to start at 10pm Friday night and continue until 7pm Saturday... No rain is forecast for Sunday and Monday and then the sun comes out for the first time at 7pm Monday evening...
