Splendid time watching the planes on the approach at RIAT this year, plenty of thrilling flybys and low approaches. Great buzz all round as usual with such a wide variety of different and unusual aircraft.

The F-35's are Awesome for sure. The Harrier is more of tank though. Takes more abuse and it's got a more psychological, mennising look and effect.

@langdalepaul 10 ай бұрын

@@reubenmawson-stevens2791 the F35 couldn’t deal with the gusty winds at RIAT on the Saturday. All it could manage was a slow flypast. Hardly an all-weather VSTOL aircraft - it may be muchmore advanced in many ways, but for VSTOL capability it doesn’t hold a candle to the Harrier. We’ve been sold an expensive lemon.

What day was this Bob? I went on the Saturday 15th a great show but rain spoilt so I went home at 2pm. Only wanted to see Raptor, Grippan, lightning? with those white flashes on upper wings. F- thingys and eurofighter, lancaster and spits. Breath taking seeing them overhead from your view point. I love the sound and shocking sight of them. I'm usually on the grandstand near the top row in the middle but with rain forecast I chose to sit on the pavement crowd line near helicopter's static display.
