Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
If the A-10 demo does make it to the show, be prepared for an amazing display. Up there with the best solos on the circuit just now. Was incredible to see the camouflage painted jet at El Centro show last week - all that was missing was the 'Brrrrrrrrrrt.'
Now officially qualifies as a 'regular' at Famous Dave's - El Centro

The Austrian Herc is flying with the Typhoons as part of the QRA demo - only seen outside Austria once before.... at Leuchars in 2013.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Absolutely great!
Heavy metal and some really charismatic rarities in the SK60s.

Quick, ask for a WB-57!Gripenjetphotos wrote: ↑Thu 17 Mar 2022, 12:17 pmSwedish Air Force also added to the discussion list today, no prizes for guessing what they might bring over, although an SK60 would be nice along with the Gripen.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Nice update, but I will only get excited once I am actually at the show.
Otherwise, it will likely be cancelled due to :-
a) Weather
b) COVID
c) Nuclear War
the above may not be in any particular order lol.................

How about all rolled into 1? A Nuke laced with Covid, detonated in the atmosphere using weather clouds to give us Nuclear Covid rain?Airwolfhound wrote: ↑Thu 24 Mar 2022, 3:54 pmNice update, but I will only get excited once I am actually at the show.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Well fingers crossed if there's a nuclear war we get a Tu-160 (F) and Tu-95 (F) role demo.
... but seriously... I am stoked about this year's RIAT. I am just excited at the prospect of a big airshow; but these participants are looking fantastic.
