RIAT 2016 Arrivals

[shaggy22]

I've decided to split RIAT into 3 separate threads (if that's ok admins?) because of the sheer quality & quantity of aircraft on show. I was there Wednesday arrivals all the way though till Monday when everything departs. So lots of pics for me to process. This is from Wednesdays arrivals when we had the best weather throughout the week. The F-22's & the F-35's had already arrived beforehand but this was the day when the bulk of the quality arrived, Greek F'4's, Canadian Cp-140, Pakistan C-130 etc. There was also some really nice support acts that rocked up as well in the shape of a Spanish C-130H & a Turkish KC-135.

[MIKE JG]

Sweet!

[VulcanDriver]

Love the scorpion

[Greg]

I've decided to split RIAT into 3 separate threads (if that's ok admins?)

Make as many as you want mate. Nobody could possibly object.

Part two, again mostly arrivals but with a few practices flown in between. The weather this time was very British, low cloud & even lower light for the most part, although the sun did make a few brief appearances & it didn't rain. The light was especially bad towards the end of the day when the Croatian Mi-171 arrived.

Would anyone be doing a repaint of the Mirage 2000N Lafayette Escadrille scheme?
