RIAT 2016
My annual trip to RAF Fairford for RIAT took place from July 2nd returning home 9 days later. The expectation of the first viewing of the F-35 Lightning II in two different versions was a big draw this year. In addition the F-22 was making a welcome re-appearance. Anticipation was great, actual events at the show were better than that. The static proved to be one of the best for many years with several excellent aircraft on display. The appearance of the Croatian AF with PC-9s was the traditional new air force first time visitor. Enjoy these images from another excellent RIAT.
