I think some people believe that if an F35 is not there something more interesting will be in its place, I'm not so sure, I think the only thing we'll get instead will be a toilet break.

Why the hate on the F35? I'd love to see a full demo. Sure, it's not the Harrier but it's the most modern military jet aircraft out there that realistically could be at RIAT.

I have a feeling as time progresses the F35 argument will echo the too many F16s arguments we've heard over the years.
No hate toward the F-35, just not all interested in it, its going to be around for decades to come so there is plenty of time to wet my pants over it as others seem to be doing at the prospect of seeing it at show.
BTW you've answered yourself with your second sentence - exactly that!

I would love to see the US F35 Demo . I know they will be around for years but seeing a first full demonstration would be great for the show .

Assuming the show goes ahead this year, the odds are in your favour. I still marvel at the hover demo from the B model too.

Why would two items that have both previously appeared in a RIAT flying display, one of them on 3-4 occasions not be realistic?

Granted the F18F could attend from Boeing in this Farnborough year. I was thinking of the US Navy Demo team though rather than the manufacturer although the aircraft is the same. Which is the other to have attended and flown in the flying display?

Lets hope for a repeat. I missed RIAT that year and thought it was only on static.

Flew in from Waddington for a little demo . Were there on exercises. Was at Waddington airshow where a few took off and on static.

With the USAF 75th theme, how about getting the French based F86 Sabre over? Civilian now, yes. However played a massive part in the Cold War for the USAF.

There is still a CAA ban on aerobatics by civilian swept-wing jets in force, so if the Sabre came it wouldn’t be able to fly its full demo. And to be pedantic, it’s a Canadair Sabre 6 (powered by an Orenda), not strictly an F-86

I didn't realise the ban was still there, but you are right. Restricted to flypasts still. I thought it was lifted in 2018 but that was only straight wing ex Military.

Pretty stupid given the full circumstances of Shoreham are now long known and aircraft issues were never a factor in it at all.

Given that two swept-wing jets being operated by civilians crashed within a short space of time, I guess there is no incentive for the CAA to lift the ban.

The whole point isn’t ‘aircraft issues’ being a factor, more a wider one of whether civilians should be flying low-level high-energy aerobatics in demanding, swept-wing jets.

There's been plenty of excellent displays by historic jets post Shoreham so I'm not really sure it's an issue anyway. I've noticed over the years that many people at airshows don't like raising their heads to watch aerobatic manoeuvres, you see it all the time, a plane pulls up to do something or other and half the people lose interest and look down or talk to their friends.

I don't blame them. I go to watch the aircraft, not tiny specks disappearing halfway to the moon and back. I still haven't got a decent shot of Shuttleworth's Spitfire, as every show I've been to it's been flung about several thousand feet up.
