Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Well done to the Estonian M28 crew who managed to land closer to the 09 numbers than the 27 numbers, presumably their lowest forward airspeed was higher than their highest taxiing speed!

Royal Navy Merlin cancelled.

T'other Royal Navy Merlin (the HM2, rather than the HC4 that cancelled a while back)
Worth pointing out that there's been a good handful of both out flying today, I know that's no reason why they should be able to make it but it must be annoying even for the crews to know they could get to attend an airshow but for whatever reason they now can't!

I'm sure the exact same thing happened a few years ago with a Navy Merlin!cg_341 wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 4:10 pmT'other Royal Navy Merlin (the HM2, rather than the HC4 that cancelled a while back)

Yup it turned up with the F35 and both did a low pass before long finals.
Looked lovely, hope it’s the display aircraft.
Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
Saw quite a few ambulances with blue lights lit heading across the runway at the 27 end. It was about lunchtime, did anyone hear anything another their scanners. Hope all was well but looked like something was up.

Probably just like any media outfit, it will either be 'we told you first' , or they will just pretend they ever mentioned it.bobby 1211 wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 1:08 pmDid anyone just hear that on Planes TV stream? Potentially one B-52 will still make it

Might've been a practice drill?

So having been told it was cancelled, it appears its cancellation has now been cancelled and it's on its way after all.

You assume that all crews enjoy being at an airshow all weekend ? I am sure some do and if they volunteer for it that's good, but some pilots / crew might want to spend weekends with their families.

Isn't it their job to be tasked to different duties, one of which is airshows?DOUGHNUT wrote: ↑Thu 14 Jul 2022, 5:07 pm"must be annoying even for the crews to know they could get to attend an airshow but for whatever reason they now can't!"

I mean I don't like that I work certain shifts but it's my job.
For what it's worth my Grandad used to love being sent to airshows - it was a big party to him & his colleagues.
If only the Sk.60s could un cancel.
For those who are hanging on, there's a few bits in the hold including A-340 & An-30.

I also love how aggressive they are with the formation changes.

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
The Black Eagles use formations with space so brilliantly, giving the show lots of impact. Other teams take note
