With RIAT happening this weekend, what are people looking forward to seeing? I am personally looking forward to seeing the Thunderbirds aerobatics team, those sort of things are always worth a watch!!!!
A big orange disc in the sky and enough blue sky to knit a sailor a pair of trousers......
Is there anybody out there?
As well as what's been mentioned already. It has to be the Brazilian Air Force R-99A.
I'm really excited to know that there are going to be longer flying displays. That's all I go for. (see http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/07/09/215416/video-riat-flying-displays-extended.html)
The Red Arrows will be there and they're always a crowd pleaser.
There should be a great Indian contingent, with two Su-30MKIs, an Il-78 and potentially three of their Hawk 132s on show.
Fingers crossed that the elements don't spoil it!
