Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
9am arrival tomorrow at Totterdown. My earliest RIAT arrival to date. The Mrs said do you really have to watch planes for 5 days. Yes. Yes I do. In on the Saturday. Out on the bike in beautiful evenings, rehearsals from Totterdown and near the runway. Beers frozen. Milk frozen. Car packed. Hyped? Just a little.
Its been a long wait. Have a great time everyone however you do it.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Disappointing news regarding the BUFFS but seeing the reaction on social media just makes me laugh, total melts losing their mind over it.
We've not had RIAT for 2 years, lets just enjoy whats on offer and lets be honest there's plenty on offer to enjoy.
Hope everyone has a great and safe RIAT, don't forget you sun lotion...

Anyone know when the Austrians are coming? I’ve not seen an Austrian typhoon before so I’m looking forward to them

Regarding Friday, does an admission ticket for the showground grant you access to the P&V areas?

P&V East is the Yellow Zone inside the showground so yes. Not sure about P&V West.LN Strike Eagle wrote: ↑Tue 12 Jul 2022, 11:06 pmRegarding Friday, does an admission ticket for the showground grant you access to the P&V areas?
2024 shows: Abingdon, Cosford, Sywell, RIAT, Zeltweg with a couple of Duxford and Shutteworth shows thrown into the mix.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
East open as usual (yellow zone), think if you get the shuttle bus in the showground it'll take you down to West P&V area should you want to.LN Strike Eagle wrote: ↑Tue 12 Jul 2022, 11:06 pmRegarding Friday, does an admission ticket for the showground grant you access to the P&V areas?

I hope the green zone parking is all on the base and not in the fields out side the fence like they used to do , with people arriving before the gates opened .
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Green zone is partly the hardstand on the aircraft dispersals, and then the fields the other side of the lanegeorgemac100 wrote: ↑Wed 13 Jul 2022, 6:21 amI hope the green zone parking is all on the base and not in the fields out side the fence like they used to do , with people arriving before the gates opened .

40 Squadron if I am right posted it on their twitter as well that they were for sure coming, so indeed false info again. (Just like people screaming a US army apache and chinook were coming and the Indian Sejat)
