You can find the daily flying schedule in the Souvenir Programme and specific slot times announced on airshow radio. The organisers don't publish it by other means. A daily sheet of lies can be purchased in park and view for arrivals.

Plus the daily sheet of lies is given out to FRIAT members on show days too - and then normally plastered all over social media for everyone else too

Thanks - So just to check the program will show the expected running order but not actual times?

Perhaps worth noting that there have been very, very few years where the flying display has run on time all day for even one day.

No one's fault, it just happens.
nothing is confirmed at a show until its u/c hits the tarmac or it is running in for its display.....

It will list the display aircraft in hour slots. For example, between 3pm and 4pm there will be a display team and three solo's listed. It's enough to plan your day.

Also, doesn't the Airtattoo app include the (approx.) timings of some of the star items?

There is a Key Timings section although that is currently unpopulated.

Is there a reason why they dont publish it a few days before, so people can plan their day better ? I get that planes can change time, but its usually pretty accurate , and as a guideline it would be helpful. Or is it to try and make people buy the £12 programme.....

If you're selling something, why would you also give it away for free? Your last sentence is absolutely correct.

These are very recent changes (still unknown yesterday). Good news about the Austrian's, they must be a highlight for many. Still some unknowns such as the Hungarian Gripen. Seems quite late in the day to be arranging the Friday flying.

Anyone think there is any possibility of arranging a collection bucket in the FRIAT reception in memory of Colonel Oleksandr Oksanchenko for families of those killed in the 831st Guards Tactical Aviation Brigade or indeed the Ukrainian Air Force? Perhaps there is a FRIAT person with good connection with RIAT? Would need a bit of work with some sort of notice or banner printed out...

-RR Spitfire
-AW149
-727 + Blades
-Czech Hip / Hind
-Finnish Hawk
-Heer NH90
-Italy C-27
-NATO E-3 FP
-SwAF SK60

Looks about right for a 1000-1500 display.

Question re: P&V

Is it possible to travel between the East and West, or are they totally separate areas?

Also where is the parking for P&V? Just trying to plan my day next Thursday.

Many thanks

They're totally separate areas. You can drive from one to the other, but walking it isn't possible.
Parking is right next to P&V, either on the Red / Green car park areas

Think I'm sold on the Friday display, but as I'll be travelling from home, how have traffic and queues been for it in previous years? And I wonder, with an early finish to the flying would there be enough time after to go and take a leisurely walk round the static?
Many thanks.

Brilliant thank you! I’ll be heading for West I think, as always watch from the Red zone on show days. It will be nice to get a different view.

Thanks again

I find Friday "quieter" than Sat/Sun - I travel in from Worcestershire, so on the green route, but I do tend to arrive around 8.00 each morning so can only speak for that time of day, and usually drive straight in, albeit with a bit of slow but moving traffic as you get a couple of miles from the car park. I drive round to Blue entrance for Friday as Green Zone closed and no pedestrian access, again don't have any delays to speak of.

As for wandering around, I'm in FRIAT and that has a closure time of 5.30, so assume showground open until 6.00 (I haven't looked), so time for a decent wander before and after the displays.

Might be a bit late now, but great idea. I got some of my Saint Javelin order thru today so will have at least a sticker on my case and a combat raccoon t-shirt on at some point!

That had been showing as Cancelled since Thursday.
Fingers crossed it's the last one - cancellations have been really low this year, which is obviously brilliant 👍🏼
