i'm going, just one day though, not sure if i'll be able to branch off on me own though, been told i have to keep me parents company (fair do as they are paying for it :))
 
yeah i'll be there on the Friday thru till monday afternoon, i hope my fellow countrymen bring along the RF-4 again... be good to see how many SoH members we can get into one Photo :icon_lol: and yeah it is a strong lineup, odds of Su-35 are at 6/1 and Mig-29 are at 8/1... i like them odds so here's hoping... :ernae:
 
This is one of the many airshows on my huge to-do list...Flying Legends, RIAT, La Ferté-Alais, ILA, Farnborough, ILA, Paris Air Show, EAA Airventure,...sadly it won't be for this year.

I'm sure you'll all have of fun during the show (@ Matt: don't forget to take your Bigma and A100 along!), though!

Don't forget the Romanian MiG 21 LanceR demo, I'm looking forward to that as well. So far it's indeed a very nice program, let's hope we will stay free of rain and volcanic ash clouds...:rolleyes:
I got myself a Mach 2 FRIAT ticket this year, looking forward to it.

PS: a picture I took of the F-22 at RIAT in 2008.

I like to see the Greek F-4's at RIAT also but rumor has it that due to finacial problems in that part of the world we may be dissapointed this year, i think this is also the last year that the Greek A-7's are operational, we may not get to see these at RIAT agian. The Germans are bringing one off there F-4's so at least there will be one "toom" on display.
cheers ian

Yeah the A-7's are due to be Retired this year, then again they were due for retirement 3 years ago if i recall... :icon_lol:, November i'm hoping to move out to Greece myself, settle down with the Mrs... put my 'troubled' past behind me and keep marching forwards... at least this year we have a good selection of aircraft, last years was a bit, well a bit quiet...
