RIAT 2008,Thursday, Friday and Monday including Raptor.

Such a shame the show was cancelled and very unfortunate for many people, particularly for those on the camp sites and others from the UK and abroad.who made RIAT as part of their holiday. Even more so, unpleasant for the organisers.

Judging by some of the formation practice displays, I think RIAT 2008 would have been very entertaining.

Some images from Thursday, Friday and Monday but not necessarily in that order.

Thanks

Thanks for all your nice comments.

James, the aircraft with the Spit on the tail is a Mirage F1B two seat conversion trainer.

Thanks

I feel sorry for the Esquadrilha da Fumaça coming all this way and not displaying or are they at Farnbourgh?

Afraid not, they began their 9 day journey home on Monday.

Magnificent!

One thing about the heavy moist air is you get some great pressure waves and vortices.

Fantastic shots Martin like the Typhoon pics and the Belgian air force F-16 pics 😎 I feel sorry for the Esquadrilha da Fumaça coming all this way and not displaying or are they at Farnbourgh? Just wondering whats the jet with the Spitfire on its tail? :confused:
