RIAT 2014
Didi anyone go this time, and if so what did you think of it ?
I enjoyed the experience, but found the flying programme pretty anaemic even compared with the last 2-3 years. I enjoyed the F16's, F18's, Typhoons, Tornados and Gripen whizzing loudly around the sky, the A400 the BBMF and various display teams doing their best to make difficult look easy. The static was ok, a few unusual types amidst the same same, but any that had open doors were staffed by friendly and helpful crew. Amazingly there were 3!!! USAF/USN in the static park, after the dearth of participants the last few years after the 'golden years' when the show seemed to be nothing but USAF.
