Just dont place it slap bang behind the Skyhawk! *shivers at thought*
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I was listening to the podcast where Air Ops was interviewed and it was interesting to learn how crews actually sometimes specify their preference for static placement up around the tower area when they confirm attendance, so they don't feel on the periphery of the show. So sometimes star items placed where they are isn't entirely a choice the show organisers have made it seems...

Black Eagles support C-130's have departed Korea en-route to the UK.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Just got an email saying my booking has been cancelled due to them not having a viable business any more. Pity for them and annoying for me as have to find somewhere else now! Won't be cheap either. Had a lovely place booked in Cricklade.
Looking forward to the show, still. Looks fantastic.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Maybe Cosford could ask for one on static...............
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
35-730 C-130J-30 „Argo 104“
45-747 C-130J-30 „Argo 105“
55-036 C-130H-30 „Argo 106“
But what are they carrying as they can't be carrying the T-50 Golden Eagles inside....and why so early?

And probably women too. (a little sexist there)

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I understand the T-50s will be brought inside three Korean Air Cargo 747s, but not sure into where, MAN, BZZ, FFD or FBO?

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Regarding India who are on the ongoing discussions list, (Not including 2008 with Sarang as no one got to see it) I can't believe it's been 15 years since they last attended! I would've said 4/5 years. What could they realistically send? A static C-17? or if theres a deployment a static Tejas?
Deluded brain thinks 'yeah of course they're going to send a Flanker and Jag for the flying'.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
3 ROKAF C-130's in the UK during RIAT. At least there must be 1 on static. Please, please, please x 1 million.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I think Peter has already confirmed that RoKAF have no plans to send one to the show in any capacity.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
That's quite a shame
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
But they are here for RIAT and Farnborough! You would think they would need one C-130 at RIAT to bring in all their freebees and PR stuff with tent!!!

Do we know who the commentator for this years RIAT is going to be, as I hope it is Ben Dunnell?
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Does Totterdown accept day-visitors on the Thursday?
Travelling down in the morning and thought it might be a chance to see some practice displays later on, after the arrivals start to finish up.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Yes, they offer both park and view and walking up to Totterdown from Wednesday onwards. A good vantage point for both arrivals and practise displays.
