‘Fighter Meet’ Builds Momentum

RIAT Gripen

This week brings exciting news as we reveal the first Royal Air Force participants confirmed for RIAT26! ? 

As part of this year’s ‘Fighter Meet’ theme, we’re pleased to welcome back the RAF Typhoon Display Team with their award-winning display. They’ll be joined by the iconic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight with the Dakota, Spitfire and Hurricane.

We’re also pleased to confirm participation from the Swedish Air Force as they celebrate their 100th anniversary. Their Saab Gripens will feature in both the flying display and static line-up, with the JAS-39C taking to the skies and the JAS-39D available to view on the ground.  

Completing this week’s announcement, a trio of civilian aircraft will join the static display, including a Cessna 152 from Halton Aero Club, a Cessna T-41A Mescalero from AKS Aviation, and a Slingsby Nipper from Aerial Vocations.   With discussions ongoing, there’s plenty more to come as the RIAT26 participation list continues to grow.
