The air is starting to buzz with aircraft activity; just heard two jets cruise over our office airspace, just north-west of Fairford. Hope to see some air craft practicing their displays over the next few days.

Love the RIAT, used to live in Kempsford a few years back and was awesome to have a BBQ and watch the displays overhead.

I, yet again, am away this weekend. Lived in Ciren for seven years, never seen the airshow 🙁

Streamed live on PlanesTV last year, would assume the same is happening again this year.

Forecast looks pretty good - should be no height restricted displays.

I intend to pop over on Sat. my bro has  camped on poor mans hill ( totterdown farm ) for  the  last  6-7 years. Its ace , nothing will  beat seeing he Vulcan from up there do a fast take off then hard right climb over  the campsite.

I expect to  catch the sun , and get caught in the traffic chaos .

Saw the B-2 flyby with two F15s last year...doubt I'll top that for a good while.

Nice to see the B-2, U-2, Osprey & B-52 in the static display too

Still, standing on the Mall watching the RAF 100 Flypast today was pretty ace

Going back a few years I used to get a free ticket via a designer who did promo work for the RIAT, so I used to stick the bike in the car, park up on a side road just off the main Swindon-Cirencester road and cycle past a continuous line of very slow moving traffic. And the same going home. Made it easier exploring all along the display line, too.
