LATEST UPDATE: 28/04/16

•Welcome support comes once again from the Hungarian Air Force which will be sending a JAS 39 Gripen fighter for static display and,
probably now nearing the end of its service life,
an Antonov An-26 turboprop transport.

•The Belgian Air Component's spectacular F-16A MLU Fighting Falcon display, piloted by Cdt Tom 'Gizmo' De Moortel in his second season, is set to be one of the highlights in our flying display this summer. Belgium is also providing two contrasting aircraft for the static park:
a C-130H Hercules transport and, for the first time at the Air Tattoo, an L-21B Super Cub :!: :wink: used as a glider tug by the country's Air Cadets - one of four such aircraft flown by the Belgian Air Component.

I think there's a distinct possibility that the Cub will be arriving in the cargo hold of the C-130... but you never know :roll:

Spanwith might be the problem. Taking the wing off and on again might take more time then flying it over from Belgium to the UK, I think.

LATEST UPDATE: 05/05/16

•The United States Marine Corps is to boost its Air Tattoo presence by sending a KC-130J Hercules tanker to perform in the flying display and conduct a simulated aerial refuelling with one of the F-35B Lightning IIs.

•The Turkish Air Force will send its spectacular Soloturk team flying the F-16C Fighting Falcon to participate our flying display. It is the third nation to send an F-16 demonstration to this year's show after Belgium and Greece.
Solo Turk was "old news" to most people probably, but the KC-130J tanker is not! No "Harvest Hawk"-variant I suppose... :wink:

Tsk tsk, no P-38 Lightning I ? :twisted:

LATEST UPDATE: 12/05/16

•It has been confirmed that a P-51D Mustang will take part in the USAF Heritage Flight formation at RIAT 2016 alongside an F-22A Raptor and F-35A Lightning II.
The identity of the Mustang in question and its operator are still to be confirmed.

•Flying in the display on the Friday of RIAT 2016 only will be the ex-Royal Air Force of Oman BAC Strikemaster Mk82A operated from Hawarden by North Wales Military Aviation Services, and flown by Mark Petrie.

•An increasingly rare sight at airshows due to operational commitments, an RAF C-130J Hercules will appear in the RIAT 2016 static park.
Brize Norton-based No 47 Squadron is providing the aircraft, which will wear special markings to celebrate the unit's centenary this year.

•RIAT 2016's official celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Air Training Corps will include a gathering of six gliders and motorgliders operated by the Air Cadets through the ages. Exhibited at the eastern end of the showground will be historic Slingsby Kirby Cadet, Grasshopper, Sedbergh and Venture, and modern Grob Viking and Vigilant types.

Was wondering if there are still more appearances in the pipeline to be confirmed? Because at this moment I personally find the line up (apart from the F-22 and F-35) not that impressive (for a show with that ticket price). I can see similar displays appearances in Leeuwarden for free.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.

Correct. See
http://www.airtattoo.com/airshow/aircra ... st-updates
now.
LATEST UPDATE: 19/05/16

•The RAF Mildenhall-based 352nd Special Operations Wing is returning to the Air Tattoo with an aerial demonstration of the Bell-Boeing CV-22 Osprey tiltrotor.
A second aircraft will appear in the static display.
...and I am afraid that is pretty much "it" for this week... :(
