Re: Nellis AFB Aviation Nation 2019

WRAITH?? I think this might be the new "Ghost" (paint scheme) F-16. Man, I really hope that what they mean. I think they’re different aircraft. Wraith is all black with red stencilling, much like a Beale based T-38. Wraith will be doing the race with the Lamborghini. The 57th wing command...

Re: Nellis AFB Aviation Nation 2019

It does feel quite frustrating waiting for more static participants to be announced. The flying display looks good, but I can’t see where the Mustang and Bronco that are in the list of flying participants fit into the flying display schedule.

Re: Nellis AFB Aviation Nation 2019

Flares are mostly released over the land to the north of the airfield. If you watch for any of the home team climbing over that area you’ll catch them.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2018

In a surprise Tuesday update a Romanian Mig-21 has been added to the flying display plus a C-27 support aircraft for the static. Since the last post on this thread the French air force added the solo Rafale and Couteux Delta M2000D pairs display.

Looking great now!

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2018

F-35A Heritage Flight self-confirmed. With an RAF F-35B Role Demo being mentioned on the RIAT website (albeit not yet officially confirmed) that could mean F-35 displays from two different air arms at the same show. Unless the USMC demo and USAF HF have met before (and I notice that's no longer hap...
