No, but why not discuss it in the relevent thread, it's not rocket science is it?

So to discuss something that has a direct affect on the Show (and other things) is not relevant

Not yet, let this one runs its course
All that will happen otherwise is someone will start a 2021 thread & it’ll be the same "Kris Kris Tofferson!" different thread
Surely it had ran it's course on the day that RIAT 2020 was officially cancelled?
Anyway, can someone explain what this 'Kris Kris Tofferson' stuff is all about, I know that Kris Kristofferson wrote and performed tediously dull songs but why is he mentioned so much on this forum?

Look, you keep wittering on about how life will never be the same again. That hardly means just RIAT does it? There are dedicated Covid-19 threads for what you're discussing on here. Move on.
But I'm no mod, so I'll leave it there and let them deal with it.

What? So which word/s does it replace (just leave a space, or change a letter when you reply), does it have something to do with being tediously dull and boring?

Ahh OK! Kris Kristofferson and crap are the same thing really.

I imagine it's a closely guarded secret, but I'd love to know what the whole list was...

Wouldn't it be interesting to know what, if anything, else had been confirmed by DBH as attending the show prior to its cancellation? I know it wouldn't achieve anything, but it would be interesting none the less.

Do you think that with it being RIATS birthday next year do you think they will expand the size of the static park like they did for raf 100 anniversary?
They might expand it, but unless they are going to be able to fill it with even more aircraft, which seems improbable (i'd love to be proved wrong), i cannot see it happening, unfortunately.
Ambitious idea at best, how about on static at least 1 aircraft from each year of RIAT since it began?
I would like to see them keep the idea of the Green area for display teams. Would like to see them a bit closer as they are usually parked up on the other side of the airfield. Reds in 2019 and Thunderbirds in 2017 aside
i'd like to see the return of the open top buses, with live side visits pre-booked for after 6pm to get the best of the light and a quieter airfield.
The photographic dynamic from upstairs on a bus changes totally. I know when they scrapped them they said it was too expensive to hire them. Not sure if that situation has changed though.
I agree with the open top buses having gone on them in the 90s, what a fantastic photo vantagepoint, I was shocked when I saw the single deck bendy bus things at RIAT19.
The photo buses were discussed briefly at a FRIAT forum a couple of years ago. From what I recall, its an insurance issue that prevents their return. It was mentioned that there was a photo bus running at the time of the Mig collision and that some debris fell either near to or on the bus. There was a very firm view expressed by DBH that the buses won't ever happen again sadly.
