Yes the Agulia did have an enthusiastic commentator but their aircraft are old and slow and the performance goes on for about 20-30 minutes, Don't get me wrong they are good to see but it just drags on too long.BenTheBritishGuy wrote: ↑Sat 01 Feb 2025, 4:20 pmWhy wouldn't the Aguila come again?

Expertly flown and not long left to enjoy the mb339 as both Frecce and al Fursan are retiring in a few years. Personally less in enthusiastic about the french. Not because I don’t like them because they’re great, Arguably better than the red arrows but I’d rather get Couteau delta and/or rafale solo. Been far too long since Couteau delta (7 years this year) and the rafale arguably best solo jet display in Europe right now. All would be great but can reasonably expect 1 after none last year.
Now I think about it, idk what jet teams could come that are likely ish.
Red arrows are a given
Italians: would be surprised if not again
Turkish stars: more of a hope and prey for me
Not rlly sure what else. I doubt the Aguila will come again in short succession (not that I’m overly desperate to see them)
Pat suisse already said not coming
Being honest though I've got no clue what the first announcement will be next Thursday but I expect it'll be something flying to get some interest behind the weekly announcements perhaps? I have no doubt when it's not an F22 or B1 though the comments will not be overjoyed! Personally I'd like to see the Italians as I'm very knew to the airshow scene and RIAT generally (I've only been a few times before) and I've heard they're one of the best display teams out there so would love to see them. Obviously would love to see something American flying but I find it unlikely, and beyond that I just want some decent weather on the day being honest
Italians usually confirm closer to the show itself but again they would be great to see and they certainly are one of the best teams out there.
Only one nice day? I am hoping for a whole week of sunshine like it was back in 2022.
