Royal International Air Tattoo 7-8 July 2012

[Nighthawk]

(source Riat website ) NEWS: Due to unavoidable circumstances it is with great regret that the Saudi Hawk display team will be unable to perform this year at Fairford; they have conducted successful displays at Yeovilton and Waddington over the last two weekends.

[Polleke_NL]

As for Black Eagles, you quoted shownumber "1" twice (10-0058 and 10-0057), is this correct or a typo?

[ChrisGlobe]

There are two number 1s, I think I've got them right, but I've still not had 100% confirmation as to which aircraft is which - if anyone has a 100% visually confirmed list...?

Thanks for the link to my site, by the way

One more star item arrived 1 minute ago, 07-3604 KC-767 from JASDF!!
