Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2017

Post by RyanS » Fri Jul 14, 2017 2:14 pm

Always one of the most amazing military airshows in the world. RIAT is taking place this weekend in the UK. The USAF Thunderbirds crossed the pond for an appearance since RIAT is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Air Force.

Here's their joint formation flyby with the Red Arrows

Anyone at the show?

My first time to RIAT. Took my new Panasonic 4K camcorder and got some fairly good video of the main flights on the Sunday.

Major Dan "ROCK" Dickinson throttles up, hits afterburners, and propels the F-22 Raptor into a performance, high G, take off at RIAT 2017. Watch his stunning aerobatic routine that includes close formation with a P-51 Mustang.

The B-2 Spirit flew in from Whiteman Air Force Base to make two passes down the runway at RAF Fairford. An awesome sight as it was escorted by two F-15s.

That is some beautiful footage you have! Sucks that due to conflicts in scheduling, I couldn't plan out a trip to RIAT this year. There's always next time though!

Keep up with the amazing camera work! :)

Oooo 4k 60p even. Very nice! Not many of us doing video like that out there. Someday I'll get there....

I merged the videos into the existing RIAT thread. Hope to see more!

Italian Air Force demonstrate the 'swing wing' Tornado with in-flight variable wing geometry at RIAT 2017. Flown very...flamboyantly.
