RIAT 2010 Flying F-22A

A bit of a historic request but does anyone out there know which  F-22A flew at RIAT 2010 on the Sunday 18 July please ?  Many thanks in advance .  Chrisj

Hi Chris

There's no list on Scramble for the 2010 show and Threshold's list appears to give two F-22s in the flying display but doesn't say which flew on which day. Threshold gives these two as "in the flying display and parked on the north and south sides" so probably doesn't help you much.

06-4108/AK Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor 4108 United States Air Force 525FS/3FW
06-4126/AK Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor 4126 United States Air Force 525FS/3FW

Hopefully, someone on here went on the Sunday and can confirm which flew.

Thanks YET AGAIN Graham . I had tried Scramble , Fightercontrol and others available on the net and drew a blank . Only available photos show 06-4126 flying but fail to say which day the photo was taken . My couple of photos are a bit dark and because of the aircraft position do not show the serial ! In the past I have seen reports where it gives which aircraft flew on which day but I think this one is dead in the water ! Thanks again . Chris

Thanks Owen, any idea which one flew?

Graham, just looked at my log book, RIAT check list and my photos and sorry to say can't see any notation as to which one may have flown On the check list both are shown as being parked on the flightlines.

Thanks 'owenmcgarry' , This is what I found also . Back in the days of BARG they would say which aircraft flew if several were available . Obviously the Official check list would not be able to print this in advance because of any problems which may pop up on the day . Chrisj

Does seem odd that Scramble doesn't have a list for the 2010 show.

Thanks for looking Owen and welcome to the group.

I tried looking on Flickr and typing in the serials to see if there were any flying photos taken on 18/07/10.

06-4108 has photos dated 18/07/10 displaying at RIAT.
(06-4126 has photos dated 17/07/10 displaying at RIAT.)

I don’t know if that’s good enough proof?


My photos of both are here, but are both just parked up northside on Saturday 17th.
