It's a shame Trump isn't the one in the Middle East...we could have all put MAGA hats on, told him he was the best president ever and goaded him into giving us a 100ft low pass of Air Force 1 on his way home!!GlynH wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 9:53 amWell it looks to me like Biden will be leaving Israel tomorrow (Friday) afternoon but will be flying directly to Saudi Arabia for meetings with MBS along with leaders from Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt so where that leaves his return home God only knows.mbowde wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 8:37 amIndeed it is, following him on his trip to Israel (think it’s parked up in Souda Bay?) My guess is it will leave after AF1 and once thats safely on its way will land at RIAT probably late on tomorrow (would have to check Bidens schedule to see when he’s leaving) and be parked up close to the runway in green ready for a quick exit.bishbashbosh wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 7:17 amNo E-4 or A-4 on the list for today. I believe the E-4 is in the Middle East with Biden and will land here tomorrow once he’s on the way home - take with a pinch of salt.

The F-35 behind the F-15 was like a looking at a weasel behind a roaring lion.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
They didn't, according to Planes TV they were low on fuel due to a recce of the airfield!

Thanks Frecce for turning your engines towards the 27 Park&View. A good 15 minutes of heat, fumes and oil in the air.

What do you want them to do, sit in each others' jet-wash and end up overheating their engines, resulting in anything from going tech to going quite spectacularly bang?

Fair comment but it's a wide taxiway, staggered would have been no issue, or call me daft, face the other way

I am quite sure it was not as bad as the Ukrainian TU-22 back in 1998. Spitting out all of that for more than an hour.Pat Murphy wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 12:02 pmThanks Frecce for turning your engines towards the 27 Park&View. A good 15 minutes of heat, fumes and oil in the air.

From where I am in East, I quite enjoyed it! I also managed to avoid the Italian Cloud when they started their display, but it look thick!Pat Murphy wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 12:02 pmThanks Frecce for turning your engines towards the 27 Park&View. A good 15 minutes of heat, fumes and oil in the air.

Looking for updates on the D Gripen from Sweden, the second RAF Puma, and the Aviano F-16s if anyone has them?
Fly Fano team appear to be arriving today (from their social media) though are not on the sheet of lies. Delayed yesterday due to weather.

Terminate may just be because they were over time, a STOP IMMEDIATELY or STOP STOP call would be more serious.

I said at Cosford I thought the Belgium F-16 was the best display. That was better. And one of the best displays I think I've ever seen. Relentless.
