now.
Indeed, the Sukhois are not listed as they were a "very last minute" addition... :wink:

Also an Israëli C-130 Hercules in the static it now seems... :shock:

Of which at least one has departed again, so likely one of the regular theater rotations.

B-2 is due at 14:09 for 3 passes. Went yesterday and it definitely was a good show, with increased quality and good US support. Some great aircraft like the F-22s, U-2, E-7, Japanese B767, the bombers, Flankers and so on. Really the reason why RIAT still stands out compared to other shows. US flypast was more than welcome! A bit of a weak RAF attendance, although chopper and transport static attendance was good. but I guess that would be more than compensated next year with the 100 year RAF celebration. Weather was pretty bad so half of the flying program was canceled. Too bad the B-2 only attends on the Sunday.

Goodmorning all,

Went to the RIAT on saturday this year. Great show again!

I need a little help on the F-15's and F-16's from the US flyby. The F-15E was the ....309/LN, one of the F-15C's was ....001/LN. So now I only need the other F-15C and the two Spang F-16's.

Anybody for the missing numbers?

Thanks.
