As if Air Ops at RIAT has contacted their Marketing Department about signed up participants. I think they wouldn't do that before the ticket prices have gone up from early-bird to normal prices, just to make more money, which RIAT is all about.

folks,

Just to stop all the weird rumours here:

At this moment only Zeltweg is fully confirmed for the Saudi Hawks, so yes they are coming to Europe! Confirmation/permission is 'expected' for both Belgium and the UK, but that's the real situation at this moment.

Just wait and see, due to the situation in the middle east they might not show up after all.
