Los Halcones- the Chilean aerobatic display team and Patrouille Suisse now seem to be confirmed although not on the RIAT site I might add, but on other sites.  Three good display teams for a good start, roll on July! 'thumbsup'

Hi Joey, nice to see your name up again.  I could'nt see it not attending unless something serious happens with it.  The other airshow that weekend is Duxford and if they had to choose I would think that they would go for RIAT as it is far bigger,  even though I suppose it could easily do both.  Are you heading for Fairford again this year?  Dave (Fouga) will be joining us this year.

Hi Vulcan

Hope to be at both days this year!!
And you were right! About being hooked it was brilliant last year the weather didn't get in the way, hoping for better weather this year!

Farnborough 2008 has the Vulcan booked for one of their display days.
Have you been on the Farnborough site yet?
i know that it caters for more civilian aircraft and if memory serves me, the last time RIAT 2006 & Farnborough 2006 the Osprey made an appearance at Fairford so who knows what surprises this year will hold!!
Anyway look forward to July!
can't wait :rotfl:

Unforunately there seems to be a few major UK airshow clashes this summer.RIAT/Duxford and RAF Waddington/RNAS Yeovilton seem to be the main ones.Not good planning :oh: but I also believe there is some major discruntlement regarding the Ticket System for RIAT this year.

I have never been to RIAT and don`t intend to go anytime soon-I`m not a fan of monster airshows-too many elbows and people with BIG HATS getting in the way of photography! Grrr!!! :thumbsdown:

I always found at RIAT that the static displays have the fences back far enough that you can get excellent photos with nobody in the way.

Even if you need to take a few extra steps back, as a rule people wait till you have your photo taken before they pass you. The flying displays are to the north of the runway usually, and no matter where you are on the ramp, you'll have a good view of proceedings. If you want a better view, there used to be terraced seating along the flight line.

And then there is the open topped bus.

Now I have to say I haven't been to RIAT since 1994. They started moving it from Fairford then and I lost interest.

Canadian Forces CF-18 Demo and USAF F-22 Demo both have Fairford listed on their 2008 schedules.  Fantastic, roll on July.  First time in Europe for the Raptor.

The Vulcan is sadly looking more and more doubtful due to further financial problems
