"Good news bad news time... Unfortunately the F16 is not going to be able to validate next week which means it won't be part of the weekend flying display. We are all very sad about this.
The good news is we have a de Havilland Comet joining the flying display. More details as we get them!"
I would say that is just bad news to be honest.

Re: FIA 2016 Participants
Crazy, didn't they tell the Belgian A/F that they would have to validate their display?! Still don't know who is supplying the static F-16?

Re: FIA 2016 Participants
Pretty much as normal, very much two shows. Surpirsed the P-8, A400m and A350 are staying for the public days. Sadly its been 20 years since everything stayed all week.

Re: FIA 2016 Participants

Yep, Farnboro' always get a good list of machines, it's just what they do with them that is the problem! I see why RIAT isn't getting the Cesar now then - obviously static at FIA is better than displaying at RIAT......
Just noted that there's a USCG HC-144 (C-27) listed

Re: FIA 2016 Participants
FIA's HH-101 will be coming from Yeovil, with Agusta Westland displaying it, the RIAT one was too be from Italy, with the Italian Air Force flying it.
With dumb bombs and retarded bomblets, why don't they just use stupid missiles?

That's what threw me, but the '27 isn't the HC-144 of course...
