We're pleased to announce this week the first confirmed aircraft for both the flying and static displays at RIAT 2023, both coming from the Finnish Air Force.
Firstly, we're pleased to welcome their F/A-18C Hornet which will be performing in the flying display. Their solo display of the Hornet is often regarded as one of the best fast jet demonstrations across Europe, and a previous winner of various flying display awards at RIAT.
In addition, they will also be sending a Hawk for static display, planned to be HW.340 in the spectacular Finnish flag colour scheme, after it was unable to attend last year.
Despite it being early in the year, we are already in communication with a number of Air Forces who plan to send aircraft to RIAT 2023, including a number of air to air refuelling aircraft for our SKYTANKER23 theme, and a wide array of other military and civilian aircraft types. However, there are also a number of nations who due to operational commitments or budgetary constraints, are sadly unable to participate at RIAT 2023. These are all available to view using our 'traffic light' system on this page.
We are working hard behind the scenes planning the next instalment of the Royal International Air Tattoo. Stay tuned for updates!
Latest Update - 16th February 2023
We're pleased this week to receive confirmation from the German Army,
as they return with a pair of
NH90 Tactical Transport Helicopters!
As per their attendance last year, they will bring one helicopter to perform in the flying display, and another for static display.
Last week the Spanish Air Force
notified us they plan to participate in the Flying Display.
We hope to receive formal confirmation of what we can expect to see at RIAT 2023 in the coming weeks.
We are already in communications with a number of Air Refueling Wings from across the United States Air Force,
who have an ambition to bring their aircraft to RIAT 2023 as part of our SKYTANKER23 theme.

This week we can confirm that despite a high operational tempo during July 2023,
as they host the NATO Summit,
Lithuania will be participating at RIAT 2023!
They plan to send one of their C-27J Spartan aircraft for static display.
This week we've been in discussions with the US Navy
who hope to send a static display aircraft,
plus further discussions with both the UAE & Italy concerning their aspiration to participate this year.
Het is pas februari, de eerste updates zijn altijd klein.
