Airshow: RIAT 2006 Displays

Another RIAT scorcher! Both in terms of weather and content.  Some enthusiasts bemoan the reduction in size of RIAT compared to the 1980’s/1990’s but it remains the world’s largest military airshow, and attracts some stunning displays not seen elsewhere in Europe.

Displays included MiG-29M OVT, Osprey, Dutch F-16, Mil Mi-24, F/A-18F Super Hornet, B-1B, Patrouille Suisse, Patrulla Aguila and Red Arrows.
