Just thinking, a couple of potential RIAT / UK airshow firsts - RAF P-8A Poseidon & USAF KC-46A Pegasus in the static would be nice. Realistic?

I thought the same about the KC-46, I suppose there'll be one at Farnborough so possibly a decent chance.

While I'm on the wishlist thread I wonder if one of the Leeming based Qatar Hawks will make it down or any of the Coningsby based 12 Squadron Qatar training Typhoons, they have nice markings and fit the training theme.

T7 Red Hawk especially as now it seems the T50 will be there and at Farnborough

I think an RAF P-8 is a very good shout.

I wouldn't mind 1 in the static park and a flypast with the red arrows.

The Thai 340 has been in hamburg abit recently, that next to the german 340 would be brilliant!

I think perhaps a reasonable wish list item is for the RAF/ MoD to replicate the Jubilee flypast?

Here’s a real wish list item though:

One last time. Come on, Romania.

Not so easy when you have to take into account all of the airspace/ATC issues such flypasts create over another two days in summer.

"For their last year of service, the Romanian MiG-21s will be limited to air police missions and training flights to maintain the proficiency of current pilots."

Very wishful on your part.

The good thing about wish lists though is that wishful is ok.

The MiG-21 was the highlight of my year in 2019, watching them fly on three days is a great memory (thanks BDH). My wish list for 2022 would be topped by a HAF F-4 role demo, it won't happen in GB but it's ok to dream...

Sadly I think these are gone before RIAT starts, but the blue aircraft is just stunning.

Seeing as it's the anniversary year, can the States bring some burgers over for P&V (if you know, you know).

How about a training-themed flypast: Hawk T1 (from the RAFAT), T2, JP, Gnat, whatever the new thing is called etc...

Only because I saw one on flight radar, what are the chances of getting a c5 galaxy for the show? Be great to see one of them again.

Seeing as one hasn't appeared in ten years, I wouldn't say likely.

I was just posting here, as i'd absolutely love to see the C-17 West Coast demo team. It'd make a change from the A400 if that doesn't show up (why not both).

Kiwi C-130H relocating / performing a flypast from Brize for the weekend?

I would’ve thought the Jubilee might have been a theme for the show this year - In retrospect, possibly a better punt than USAF 75?

757 would be nice, especially in the flying.
