I’m hoping Zambia and Turkey finally confirm!
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The Egyptian and Indian Air Force are still ongoing also, which could result in some rare goodies. An Indian A-50 would be ace!

I was drumming my fingers on the desk for a while and got through two additional cups of coffee.
But today is another day... let the cascade of updates begin

That's what brought them to RIAT in 2007 isn't it?

News to me... would be great if true! The Indians are not especially popular at the moment (politically speaking) so it would be especially good to see them over.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Exercise Indradhanush in 2007, they were based at Waddington. 2015 the Indians were at Coningsby. The Indians were due over in March for Exercise Cobra Warrior 2022 with their HAL Tejas. Not heard any other rumours, the locals are being tight lipped if any truth.

A shame about the Polish air force but its hardly surprising. Still intrigued by the prospect of something Egyptian!

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The Polish Navy have been great supporters of the show over the past few years, mostly with the Bryza but did the Mi-14 visit a few years back? Good to see them on the list once again.

Their web content person really needs to discover the draft function.

Seems like all the Polish Air Force effort is going to Denmark then, United Kingdom nil points.
Was rather hoping the Irish PC-12 with the terrible camo tail was going to turn up. Good to see a return of the Lone Ranger's favourite display team though.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Great to have the Silver Swallows back. I did wonder with it being their anniversary, if it was going to be any year it would be this one. Well done to them!
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The Irish display will be a new one for me so very happy to see that being confirmed!
