No stepladders allowed in the park and view....
But building a tent is no problem...

I was almost penalized voor standing on my small step/chair on this picture in front of me

Step ladders are allowed during park and view as well as during the show itself; but only in a designated area!!

Thanks guys!

So guys, what's your recommendation; P&V West or East for Departure Day?

Cheers!

Depends on the winds. Still too early to say, else FRIAT, if you want to part with all that money.

[mirage 69]

With winds mostly coming from the west you can view and take pictures almost from al the airplanes attending RIAT 2015 when you go to P&V east. (take off runway 27)
But these pictures are rather boring..(airplane on runway), when you go to P&V west you can make spectaculair take off pictures.
Maybe from half of the planes that depart, the other half will be to high already...

it's a mather of personal preference.

More interesting are the two F5's from the Spanish air Force for static.

Great news from RIAT

The Royal International Air Tattoo 2015 will witness a British airshow 'first' when the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) displays two examples of its Kawasaki P-1 four-jet maritime patrol aircraft - one in the static park and the other in the flying programme.
