Hoping for some more USAF and USN participants... not to much from them this year it seems.

I agree, compared to last year, it's mostly static planes especially the fighter jets. Not sure if it's a BUDGET thing.

RIAT did mention that there would be more confirmation over thhr next few weeks on the flip side.
Doesn't look like the F35A from the RAF would be taking part - confirmed at the beginning but later removed BY RIAT

Keep in mind that last year was the USAF-70 celebration and this year they have a larger than usual RAF participation... Still, more than three weeks to go :roll:

Always going forward... still can't find reverse!

Maybe the RAF F-35 will be a surprise similar to the B-2 last year.

He Guinness,

Thank you for the info. Do you also have more info on the possible participation of Singapore, Malaysia, UAE and Japan? Still no sign of all of them.

They're both on the list, the green light has been flashing for a couple of weeks now. Reckon we may get official confirmation of Asian/Middle Eastern countries over the next couple of weeks.

Let's hope for something flying instead of another static!

35 different flying displays already... good for almost nine flying displayhours. I don't think there is much more space left.
