Royal International Air Tattoo 14-16 July 2017

[Le Addeur noir]

Hello, I need some help on the Turkish 135s that arrived.
Were they the same one or different serials. Saw them land and drpart but never hot a chance to read the serial or hear their callsign.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Think they both called TAF 11 in/out.

Outbound the tanker was TAF11, and the F-16s were SOLOTURK until TAF11 assumed MARSA status.

[Richard from Rotterdam]

The Eagles were 84-0015, 86-0176 and 01-3002. The Vipers were 96-0080 and 96-0083.

The Spirit was 93-1087. I didn't read the rest.

Regards

The F-15E serial seems to be incorrect. Was it 00-3002?

[raameagle]

Yes, FY00 lol. My bad.

This was a SEPARATE TOPIC , not to be merged with the 2017 topic....

Hence edited out....

You might as well now delete all 2018 contributions from this thread.

Strange, in the first link that you added it doesn't say July 13-15. Also, is it 100% sure that RIAT 2018 will be held at Faiford? There has been some speculation about (temporary) relocation due to construction work at Fairford next year.

[Stratofreighter]

Never mind, all 2018 references can be deleted from this 2017 thread now...

Need the following RIAT serials ... who can help?

AAC Apache which left Monday 17/07
Thunderbirds no. 4 and no. 32

Thx, rgds, Carl.

[patrick dirksen]

Apache was ZJ203.

[Bucanero]

Does any one know the serial of the Saturday display Apache AH1?

Thanks for help.

Bucanero

[OscarM]

That should be ZJ230 as that one was reported to be at the north side. So ZJ203 was on static and ZJ230 was flying.

[Bucanero]

Thanks. I noted the serial before... but it was not read by the guy himself (likely RIAT Checklist?). I tried myself... but it was too difficult. Thanks for reply.

[witje]

I read it by myself

On Sunday 16 july the Thunderbirds flew as following:

F-16CJ - 92-3881/1
F-16CJ - 92-3908/2
F-16CJ - 92-3888/3
F-16CJ - 92-3896/4
F-16CJ - 91-0392/5
F-16CJ - 92-3898/6

Spares
F-16CJ - 91-0413/-
F-16DJ - 91-0479/-

On departure (Monday) the F-16DJ carried the code 7.
The code 32 is most likely the spare F-16CJ.
These serials have been confirmed by other people on other fora and by my own pictures I took from the ejection seats.

92-3881/1
92-3908/2

91-0392/5
92-3898/6
