Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
US Navy P-8 might be a no-show at this rate...
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Oh well that’s 2 big stars of the show gone out of the window. The USAF must be a little embarrassed, after all this is a Royal event! Although just a couple of flypasts were due it will still be a bit of a gap in the programme.

Only B-52'S that we know about , P-8 hasn't arrived yet but its early days may end up being tomorrow or friday , arrivals are a general guideline but last minute things do pop up
Even if it doesn't show its not the end of the world , not with doomsday E-4 coming

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
They actually tried to squeeze the F-35B flypast while the B-52 repositioned for its second flyby That most likely means there will be no gap in the flying display.
Also nice to see the Beluga doing a flypast with the Reds

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Looking at the Friday program it seems The Blades are doing a full display. Silver Swallows are also down to display (website shows weekend display only) and the NATO E-3A flypast must have been added last min.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Are The Blades back to a full 4-aircraft display now?

Switched on PlanesTV and was fast-forwarding between the times with no aircraft, saw Harriers and got excited, only to realise they were showing a replay of their 2019 appearence. lol

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Seems the SAAB SK.60 has cancelled. Not sure if its for the whole show or just for the arrival today.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
That's a good schedule for Saturday, nothing I'm especially bothered about late afternoon so can probably leave mid afternoon and save a big wait for the Swindon bus
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I don't recall the Sat and Sun displays being in identical order before - as they seem to be this year. Not a criticism at all, but an observation.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Works for me the schedule (if it sticks). A couple displays that I prefer watching rather than photographing over the lunch period. Normally I end up missing something due to lunch or the other way around
Check out my instagram www.instagram.com/a3w1301 for photos. Seem to post a lot over there 🤷♂️
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I think in past years some people moaned the 2 days were so different, so now the organisers want to do them as identical as poss, and I totally understand that!

Somebody on the Planes TV YT live feed claims to have family based at Whiteman and reckons there is a surprise flypast planned for 4:30pm Sunday.

Hmmm doubt it (crosses fingers as have Sun ticket!)
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I tapped out at 1430, just got back to the car as the qinetiq 146 arrived. Too warm for me! 6 hours and got thru 4 litres of drink.
