Also, Friday has only the red and blue sections open for the public (that is the eastern and central part of the showground) green is where the arrivals of static aircraft on Friday will go. That said, Friday has the extra bonus for static aircraft also to be seen in the air. Basiccally you need to decide for yourself which thing is more appealling for YOU.dude991815 wrote: ↑21 Oct 2023, 19:43 I’m thinking of visiting RIAT next year but not clear for me which day would be the best to be there. Is there a difference in the program across the 3 days or is the program (more or less) the same for all days? Anyone any thoughts based on previous visits?

Indeed, most probably only the European based Dakotas will participate in RIAT.

This week, work has continued with a variety of nations who hope to send their aircraft to RIAT 2024.
For most Air Forces, whilst initial planning has begun,
it is not until the Spring
when we can expect to receive formal confirmation of their participation,
and add the aircraft to our participation list.
Of particular interest this week is the intent from Zambia to send an aircraft,
after their last minute cancellation in 2023.
