Insane update! A340 An-30
I was making an attempt to go to this years show blind (in terms of the participation, rather than with my eyes covered). In some ways I wish I had, but these updates are too tempting to resist reading

I would love to be able to do this but haven't got any were near enough will power.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
arrivals is going to be insane.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The show is fantastic as it stands now for me and with more updates to come, the A10 and B1 flying would be icing on the cake which is tasting very nice already. Cannot wait for July.

No it isn't.
Its looking a very good show, but until we start to see multiple MiGs, Sukhois, Tu22Ms, SR-71s, or even 40 C-130s, 40 tiger unit aircraft, or similar based on a theme lets not get carried away.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
lovely update, really boosting the static. Great commitment from Germany and the Romanian Clank will be a static highlight. Don't think I've ever seen an A340 close up before/
Great to see the Sea King and Wessex on static too.

In the context of an ongoing conflict in Europe and a world emerging from a once in a lifetime pandemic, I'd go with insane myself

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
CH53G, very nice
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Looks like I’ve picked a good year for my first RIAT
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Can you imagine after 2 years, how many airshows around the world must be fighting for all the fast jets to be at their display like the typhoon and Gripen? I wonder how they choose which ones they'll attend.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
CH-53 is immense, but the German H145 is a really cool addition, too.
The H145 is a perfect example of (relatively) boring civvi machines becoming much more interesting the moment they get some military markings and a couple of extra lumps and bumps.

Great update! I've always wanted to see the CH-53 and I won't complain about an AN-30 either.
Now lets see what Poland can bring with all three air arms in discussions.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Don’t think I’ve seen a sea stallion before so looking forward to that arrival! But every aircraft in that update gets me excited
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
A bit like a P8. One minute you're waiting to board one to Ibiza, the next you're looking forward to seeing it at an airshow. Or how about a Voyager / A330 ? I have to admit to looking forward to seeing 336 though.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Is this the first time the the Norwegian air force hasn't participated.

Nope, not there in 2017, 2015, 2010, 2007 & 2006 according to RIATs listings for those shows on their website.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Yeah, or Bird Dogs or anything - the list is pretty extensive (though they’re more exciting than civvi versions, for what they are I still find the P-8 pretty soulless!)

You caaan't trust the system... Maaan!
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Although a regular, i'm really looking forward to seeing the Belgian F-16 in it's new scheme. Much better than Dark Falcon imo!
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The new scheme has not yet ready. The demo is still in the paint shop at this time.
