Royal International Air Tatoo 2010

[PyroboyUK]

I will be setting off tomorrow afternoon for RIAT 2010. It was a really good show last year and with the proposed line up this year it looks to be even better!

The Red Arrows have flown over Cricklade today, I'm cycling up to the air show on Saturday.

Had lots of exotica through my sector today at work. 2 x Dutch F16s were a pain but the 7 Swiss F5s in tight formation that appeared as a single radar return were impressive.

Can't go this year but I always say that you should do a good air show before you die. Unless you get up close you cnnot appreciate the sheer magnitude of the engineering acheivement.

Ah i shall watch it all from my bedroom window again .

Side note, the Red Arrow where flying over Shrivenham Military College today, Graduation day there. On my way back from work I saw a swedish Saab, and yesterday i spotted a Tornado. Havent seen much else at the moment because of the weather. Will update you guys if i see anything special before the weekend.

I would love to, only 20 mins down the road. However I have no money so I may go for a dog walk nearby! Anyone know of anywhere?!

I used to walk along the river at Lechlade and get a good view of the aircraft....

I know its a real shame about the b1 lancer, amazing aircraft. Went many years ago the year they had the B2 bomber, pure brilliance.

 

[NvidiaDan]

Will be there on sunday, and watching from my garden on saturday

Looking forward to the Saab Gripen display. Awesome plane.

Saw those F5's at Waddington the other week. An impressive display and the commentator is absolutely nuts!


Edit : Actually the ones I saw were the Turkish F5 team.

How does this show compare to Leuchars?

 

[starfighter]

I haven't been to an airshow for ages. I remember sitting in a Eurofighter in 94 or 96 when I was a kid and they had just come out.

Think I could blag a do in a F22?

Went last year and really enjoyed it. The amount of people that got up and walked away from the runway as soon as the Vulcan was over was incredible!

I do like the vulcan but....its a bit of a one trick pony..the vulcan howl is cool but you don't always get that.

 

[Hencore]

Heading over on the Sunday, can't wait!

No ticket buying for me....going to watch it free whilst supping cold cans and flipping burgers on the bbq.....all from the tranquil surroundings of my Mums river boat moored on the Thames just outside Lechlade
