Stellar update, nicely done DBH

The German Army used to display their Bo-105 pre-retirement (2015/16 iirc), so it’s great to see them bring an NH90 - in the camo, they look really tops.rockfordstone wrote: ↑Thu 10 Mar 2022, 1:28 pmthe germans doing a display? they haven't done that for a while. can we convince them to fly a tonka?
Still unsure about Luftwaffe flying displays beyond limited things like flypasts and/or test pilot EF2000 displays.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Very nice additions, never seen the NH90 or 727 before. Would have liked to see the 727 flying but a nice boost to the static to have it.
Good news about the 'mixed formation flypasts'

Interesting - iirc The Blades did a flypast with the 727 at Cosford a few years ago.

'Tis a shame the 727 isn't flying, it's such a graceful aircraft.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I think both the 727 and B-17 should be flying
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I'm sure come July there will of been a few tweeks to the flying programme, as long as we don't have to put up with The Blades in the flying display i'll be happy.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Has it ever been said why there are no shuttle buses to Arrivals or at least Monay departures? I would love to attend but with no shuttle bus it makes it too difficult.
I am guessing not enough demand for it?

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Age old argument I know, but The Blades fly their display really *really* well. They also do what they can to make it work on such a massive flightline, but yes, unless you're pretty near display centre they can get a bit lost.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
If we do get F35/A10 demo teams ,maybe B1/B52 fly-pasts ,Belgium F16 and possibly French fast jet and of course RAF Typhoon then I will be a happy chappy.. not taking away from the trainer theme!
Then again any show is better than none at all!

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Very good
Not seen an A10 display in decades.
Also interesting to note that the confirmed aircraft section on the RIAT site says *NEW* beside the latest confirmed aircraft.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I wonder what the chances of an A-10/P-47 HF are
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Nice. Hopefully they’ll be performing solos as well!

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Super dooper
The A-10 is such a cool aircraft. +1 for hopefully solo displays too as well as / part of The Heritage Flight.
