JohnHull Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Good plan, I wish I had the time to stay, unfortunately I have to be back in the north for Monday afternoon. Although.............. there's always sick days!! i loved walking round the statics last year, but i was gutted not to hear the il-76 roaring into the sky, so i'm taking time off work especially this year!! the other half isnt too happy, but there's no way i'm missing out on so many big ones this year - i'm a heavy lift nut!

phildagreek Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I see from the official website that the Patrouille Suisse and thier F5's are confirmed as is the Vulcan - good, lots of noise!

phildagreek Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just had a quick check on site for the Thursday lunchtime update and I see the Marines are coming! They're bringing two MV-22B Osprey, one to fly and one parked up, there quite a selection of stuff confirmed now. Looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildagreek Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Apparently the Facebook page for RIAT says that Boeing is bringing a Super Hornet! I can't confirm this as I don't "do" Facebook, mainly because I don't "get" facebook. I am over the age that Facebook was designed for [i think].

AndyC Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Totally underwhelmed with the line-up last year and didn't bother going but even now things look promising, so I will be back this year more than likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanandjuanunited Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 This will be my first so don't have anything to gauge it by. Line up so far looks good. Would like more military fighters etc but will take what I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedfellows Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Volunteering my services again this year, hopefully get a poke round that Osprey thing. The same one my G/F said looked like a 'Man spinning two plates' Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpc7676 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Noting one of the themes is heavy lifters, it would be good to see the RAAF support the event with a KC-30, Herc or a C-17, would sure be good to see some Aussie thunder from down under up top in the RIAT participation list.

smyfe Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Got friday, saturday and sunday booked for Totterdown Campsite again Friday spent setting up 20 man tent and watching practices, Saturday in the show, and Sunday bbq and watch from campsite. The aircraft actually go right over this site, and i hope to get some good pictures. looking forward to it like you wouldn't believe. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildagreek Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 How many people you putting in that 20 man tent? That could be worth watching on it's own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smyfe Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Only 6 adults and 2 teenagers, they used to see who could bring the biggest tent to the site, but i don't think anyone has bothered since we turned up 3 years ago lol. We have a great time, if we ain't taking photos, we're barbecuing and drinking. They have to put our tent at the bottom of the field so we don't block anyone's view.

phildagreek Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I see this afternoon that the Colombians are coming now. Bringing a Herc and a primary trainer of some type. More the merrier I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildagreek Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 A few more aircraft announced this lunch time on the official web site. A couple of Dutch F16's [always good I think], a B52, a KC135 and a P3 Orion. Also shows a couple of GR4's "bombing" the airfield - always good noise!

vanandjuanunited Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Its getting better every week. As this is my first real airshow I am really looking forward to it. What are the chances of apaches and an a10 or two appearing. That's the two my kids want to see - honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
