Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Not really, it means there very likely will be static assets. It doesn't really mean anything about flying ones.

A nice lump of RAF training aircraft for the theme! Liking the Omani C295MPA & every airshow should have a P-51 Mustang at it in some capacity IMO
Never seen the French PC-21 role demo so all good there too & no cancels yet....

Australians declined
Slightly cryptic mention of USAF assets for static but no mention of flying ones?

What does this mean: "...some of which will be exited in the Ascent Showcase..."?

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Francess Dell is a nice looking Mustang,
Another nice update especially with the Oman Persuader and Mustang X-Ray.
Just wondering if the team are waiting to announce flyers / static of the USAF all together rather than in dribs and drabs.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
A bit of a stretch saying the Omanis are bringing a new type, a different variant yes, but not type. Pedant hat on. Transport ones are nicer anyhow. Hard hat on.

A variant debut regardless of nation, no less. Surely better than the transport variant from a nation we’ve seen more than once before, no?capercaillie wrote: ↑Thu 12 May 2022, 11:24 amA bit of a stretch saying the Omanis are bringing a new type, a different variant yes, but not type.

Brazilian KC-390, Romanian An30, Lithuanian Dauphin, Omani CASA 295MPA, Hungarian Mi24s, German A340, even French PC-21s - all UK airshow firsts - bland?
Hard to please some people.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The Omani Persuader is a cracking addition. That's going to be very cool.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
I stopped reading after 'proper flying'. I have no idea what that means.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
If you lower your expectations, each update is a surprise
Not every update is going to be Israeli F15's and Venezuelan Flankers!

Desert camo transport version is better looking than yet another grey CASA - Finland, Spain, Malaysia, Turkey, Portugal etc. That is fact.
An Omani CASA has only appeared once before. That is also fact.
The MPA variant is a debut from Oman. That is also a fact, and its a worthy contribution, as everyone, including me (check the post above regarding bland updates), has agreed upon.
Not sure where the "minority" report comes in?
In contrast you have said the Omani transport had appeared more than once, not true, and its the debut of the MPA variant, regardless of nation, also not true, Portugal have brought the variant before.

I put that into Google & it suggests "Somebody should proof-read this s**t before it gets issued!"
The closest match was "You'll be chucked-out of the exhibition if you climb up on the display cases!"
