Word of warning!!
Tickets are selling fast. Before the end of January FRIAT had sold out and RIAT announced that ticket sales were 50% up on the same time last year......must be the Thunderbirds. LOL.
Don't leave it until the last minute.

Bank holiday update from DBH: "We've got a Bank Holiday weekend surprise! We are thrilled to announce a bevy of heavies from the Royal Australian Air Force, the German Air Force and NATO, all to join the 2017 static display. Making its first appearance at the Air Tattoo is the 'Wedgetail' from the Royal Australian Air Force. The Boeing E-7A airborne early warning and control aircraft will be one of the furthest-travelled and most exciting additions to the line-up of static aircraft. A further boost to the static park is Germany's example of the A400M, coming from the German Air Force's Air Transport Wing 62. In addition, NATO will be supplying an E-3A Sentry AWACS, NATO have 17 E-3As all kept at the Geilenkirchen Air Base in Germany."
