The theme for this year’s RIAT is ‘Eyes in the Skies’. The airshow website says this “will see the Royal International Air Tattoo celebrate and highlight the vital role aviation plays across domains of aerial surveying, airborne early warning, maritime patrol, search and rescue, reconnaissance, signals intelligence and surveillance. At RAF Fairford we will welcome aircraft from around the world which have been modified and adapted for use on these specialised missions, in military and civilian operation”.
