However I can vow here and now that I will be going to RIAT 2012 :)

I would be interested in going but I would like to get some idea of the cost involved-maybe previous attendees could give us that haven`t been an idea?
Seems to me that it would cost around £400 for flights accom and tickets etc-does that sound about right?
I think the arrivals days would well worth a look.

Belgian F-16AM, Agusta A109BA and RAF Hawk T1 confirmed.

I think the arrivals days would well worth a look.
I went for three days last year (Friday - Sunday), got a Park-and-View ticket for the Friday and General Admission tickets for Sat and Sun. I didn't get a Mach package. Total ticket price was about £95 I think going by current prices.
Flight over was £60 (BHD-LHR with BMI).
Accom was approx £120 (stayed in Cheltenham @ Holiday Inn).
All in about £275-£300.
While the Mach package looks good I had no complaints sitting with the 'ordinary' punters :)
The "main" benefit I see with the Mach package is an elevated viewing position.
The arrivals day was well worth the look. One thing they had last year which I don't see on the ticket list for this year [yet] is the bus tour round the 'operational' side of the airfield.
-
Thanks for the info;just one more question?
How did you get to Fairford from Heathrow,did you hire a car?
-
Thanks for the info;just one more question?
How did you get to Fairford from Heathrow,did you hire a car?
I did, however at the time I was actually in England for over a week (went to Farnborough the following weekend).
I dug out the pricing list I'd put together for last years trip and found that the tickets for Fairford last year were £32 (general admission) compared to £39 this year.
Sign of the times?
-
Yep Turkish F-16 confirmed and a North American OV-10B Bronco. Pity it's only in the static - hope to see it on its arrival day :)
-
Belgian Air Force f-16 comfirmed. ;D

Is it true that there will be no RAF Tornado or Typhoon displays in 2011! ??? ???

Could be because of the no fly zone over lybia.

Friday 1st, July, 2011.
11.15am Tarnish 17 The Chief Test Pilot commenced his workup for R.I.A.T. at Fairford in IPA 5 ZJ 700 it appears to be same weapons on the Typhoon as when Tarnish 5 was practising for Farnborough last year.
The display provile appears to be the same but with a new manouver which I have'nt seen before, an inverted knife edge which shows the munitions to good effect. Today there were 2 practises one also mid-afternoon.

I'll be going back this year with the air cadets.. I went with them last year and it was great... I got to spend the day after the show with the aircrews and onboard most of the aircraft as they prepared to go. I got onboard and chatted to the crew of an American C-17 III and a KC-135 :D

What a performance by the Italian C-27J Spartan. Twin engine transport and it did wing overs, loops and knife edge passes. Pure brilliance. Highlight so far.
-
Very, very wet. Chucking it down at the minute. C-17 just landed and the pilot reported that he didn't see the runway lights until he was at 500 feet.
-
Lots of rain could mean great take off or landing shots ;D .
Unfortunately the weather looks pretty much the same for the rest of the Airshow, wet and cloudy. :( Monday might have some dry spells though.
-
It has dried up so no nice take-off shots :( A-10 has just cut it's display short because of an electrical fault. Overall not a bad show so far.
-
Not that its much consolation,but it`s bucketing down here as well-I saw the weather forecast this morning at 6am and the chart looked like something from December/January with a big stinky low pressure system(991mb) slap bang over the top of Wales!
The golfers at the British Open are having a tough time.
