A record breaking attempt to fly around the world in a de Havilland Chipmunk & a Scottish Aviation Bulldog.

...and perhaps the Patrouille de Suisse.

Definitely NO Dutch F-16 demo in 2016:

Not confirmed through their own Social Media account yet, but the Greek Air Force Zeus F-16 display team is aiming for flying at RIAT 2016, it seems.

UKAR had the info through Zeus's twitter account, but apparently (according UKAR's forum) that Greek tweet was removed later on.

news spread quickly today from the us marines statement saying F-35 will be attending,
will it happen this time or will they cancel with 48 to 24hrs before departure, again.?

Hi all,
Reuters now reporting 2X USAF F-35Bs to Fairford and Farnborough shows, also unconfirmed British jet to participate! They will join the 2X F-35As of the Marine Corps.

Have a good evening.

The two F-35 jets from Luke Air Force Base will be on static display at the shows,

and one will participate in so-called "heritage flights"
with vintage warplanes

at both the annual Royal International Air Tattoo
and the world's biggest air show in Farnborough,
outside London in July, said Air Force spokeswoman Major Kelley Jeter.

Hopefully it will come in julio rather than junio, otherwise a lot of people are going to miss it.....

[Tigerspoon]

Hellenic AF will attend with 2x Phantoms for Static and Team Zeus for Flying Display.

The F35A and F35B and F22 are now listed as flying at the website.
The update mentions a Spanish Typhoon however its not clear yet or it will do a flying display or be at the static park.

[Tigerspoon]

Hopefully the Fairey Gannet XT752 will make it to RIAT prior FIA as well.
