I've not been to Old Buckenham before so I'm looking forward to this one. The flying schedule is: SATURDAY 13:00-14:35 Tiger 9 Aeronautical Display Team B-17G "Sally B" Slingsby Firefly Hurricane Mk.I T-6 Harvard P-51D Mustang & HA1112 Buchon Turbulent Team SATURDAY 14:50-16:10 Little ...

A very nice weekend, as it turned out. I understand IWM took a concious decision to keep this airshow simple, both because of the limited budget and lack of currency among aircrew and organisers. I was pleasantly surprised, therefore, that the flying display was virtually non-stop on both days. We g...

I'm sure there is no alternative but to increase ticket costs, although I do fear for the future of the event as a result. RIAT 2019 did not sell out. Since then, ticket prices have risen and average household income has fallen by circa 8% according to some preliminary studies. It has been heartenin...

According to Aviation Photocrew, discussions are indeed underway with the Royal Saudi Air Force, with the intention of bringing the Saudi Hawks for the flying display and other aircraft, "like the Typhoon and F-15", for static display. They also refer to a "once in a lifetime chance t...

A really important point I picked up at a recent visit to Duxford regarding the Summer Airshow. My phone is pretty ancient and won't deal with QR codes, either through the NHS contact tracing app or otherwise. On non-event days and Flying Days this is not a problem as I can manually fill in a test a...

The Finnish Air Force Hawk solo has been confirmed as the special-scheme jet and the Saudi Hawks' participation now seems almost certain after news of their confirmation by Kecskemet one week later. New additions: CIVILIAN 3AT3 - x3 Aero AT-3 (F) Luke Czepiela - Edge 540 (F) Antonov An-2 (F/S) Wojte...

New addition from the Polish Navy:

x2 Mil Mi-14 (F)
x1 Mil Mi-14 (S)

Yet more Iskras for the flying display - this time, the duo display debut from Fundacja Bialo-Czerwone Skrzydla. In other news, the announcement of the Saudi Hawks' participation in the Kecskemet Airshow the week after Gdynia, and continued use of Saudi Hawks images in Gdynia's promotional material,...

Any official confirmation if this Airshow is still on ? website ? Yes, the show is still on. The website is repulonap2021.hu. It has a quite stunning line up and given how cheap Hungary is to visit, I'm now very strongly considering going. It seems the Russian Knights, however, are no longer expect...

I've got to say, I thought yesterday was by far the best of the four Flying Days I've done yet - very close in terms of quality and variety of flying acts to a "proper" airshow, only shorter. And we were so lucky with the weather, 5 hours of solid rain was forecast but all of it seemed to ...
