Loved the MiG-21 display, brilliant.

Enjoying this a lot . Wasn't that Lancer a thing to behold last year eh
Agree with Tommy, the Rafale display was fun. My 4 year old is loving it, especially the cockpit views

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
I think "confirmed" is a bit strong. Probably tentative or positive at best. I think they used the words "we hope to be" rather than "we are".
Let's just take today for what it is, rather than try to read into rumours and between the lines.

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
Good production values. A really great effort in the circumstances.
Can anyone identify which country the Eurofighter model is representing? I know they were used for marketing so is this a country that didn't buy?

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
This is very well done. I’ve just been able to dip in and out, hopefully it’ll be available for a few days so I can catch it properly.
My flipping Sky Q box has also thrown a spanner in the works today dropping network, as it’s often doing these days. Grrr!

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
I've been very impressed by the standard of the show, some superb footage, great memories and some surprisingly good virtual displays.
Just hope people are donating to the Charity whilst watching this, the RAFCT stands to lose over £1million from no RIAT this year. Every penny will help. #plug

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
i agree. there's some people complaining about them being the virtual display and not showing the real one, but that display was excellent
Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
To answer my own question, they were UK markings on the Typhoon model. It was a trick of the studio light.
To everyone involved with the Virtual Air Tattoo, great show ! Let's hope Covid-19 is behind us and next years anniversary gets the event it deserves.

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
Someone also seen that the enclosures didn't reach as far forward as the crowdline? Something of things to come?
I have to say that I was quite impressed with the program for the first day. I just missed the hills north of RAF Fairford in the virtual scenery.
Also nice to hear the story about the Black Eagles from Tim Prince. I'm sure there must be more of these kind of stories. I would just hope he writes them down in a book so these will be around for a long time, instead of taking them witth him in his coffin (which I hope wil not happen anytime soon, of course).

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
i suspect that it was just something they got wrong in the model.aviodromefriend wrote: ↑Sat 18 Jul 2020, 3:03 pmSomeone also seen that the enclosures didn't reach as far forward as the crowdline? Something of things to come?
you wouldn't be able to charge for a viewing village, FRIAT or exec enclosures if you could pay less and get closer
Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
My thoughts having watched both days, very good enjoyed it, especially as it was a free show as well, so can't complain about any if it really! I think of the two Sunday was my favourite, may be wrong but felt like more features, virtual shows, clips and Q&A's than Saturday? Still I did enjoy Saturday though.
Kind of liked the Virtual Yeovilton to be a bit like the RIAT virtual format in more talks, behind the scene clips, but I suspect the Yeovilton one didn't have as much planning time.
II know it could have just been clips from previous RIAT shows but I preferred this Virtual RIAT format to be honest, if I wanted to see air displays from the past I can watch them on YouTube at any time I like, or get some DVD's, so to have behind the scenes, virtual displays, Q&A's, pilot talks and international short clips made it interesting.
The Virtual Air Displays were certainly something different, as per the post above there seems to have been complaints about them not being the real one, but it's a good way for the Virtual Reds to make themselves known, before this I certainly have never heard if them (and I can't be the only one) and they were top notch indeed! Its made me aware of the Digital Combat Sim that was used for the sim shows and something I'll be looking at getting.
Out of all the virtual display teams I think the Virtual PDF wasn't as good as the other, but still better than I could do lol!
Personal highlights other than the Virtual Reds was the look in the RAF P8 and Voyager, the talk through of the Typhoon display, the Historic Helicopter feature, and the virtual F16 Belgian display (there's probably a couple of things I've forgotten about!)
If anyones interested in virtual flight sim shows theres one in August, by the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in place of the cancelled East kirkby show. Not live I believe, but clips put together and put online to watch at any time.
Interesting line up!

Re: Virtual Air Tattoo
i thought it was very good and there was lots of interesting stuff. the virtual stuff was also very good, especially the virtual reds.
i would have liked to have seen some archive footage from the 00's or further back, but on the whole it was a very enjoyable weekend
