Over 50,000 people have already secured their spot at this summer’s Royal International Air Tattoo, before the organisers have announced any aircraft displays planned for the show.

However, that is about to change as event organisers reveal they will start announcing attending aircraft early next month, with weekly additions to the line-up being made on their social media accounts each Thursday.

The aviation showcase takes place at RAF Fairford and sees a plethora of airframes visit the Cotswolds from across the world. This year, the show’s theme is ‘Eyes in the Skies’, focussing on specialised aircraft used for intelligence, surveillance, maritime patrol, search and rescue, surveying and reconnaissance.

Head of Air Operations, Peter Reoch and his team are tasked with inviting aircraft to the show and says there will be something for everyone at this year’s event.

“Each year at RIAT we try and showcase a broad spectrum of aviation so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

This year will be no different with plenty of exciting aircraft poised to participate, including rarely seen surveillance aircraft as part of our theme but also all the usual favourites including display teams, fast jets and helicopters.”

Last year 168,000 people enjoyed aircraft from almost 30 different nations and with a nearly 20 hours of flying displays over three-day show.

Tickets for all three days (Friday 18^th, Saturday 19^th and Sunday 20^th July) are still available, with all under 18s going free as the event aims to inspire young people to reach their potential in air and space through the work of its parent charity, the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust.

The action at RIAT isn’t all in the skies, highlight of the ground attractions is the Techno Zone®, where kids and adults can experience the latest tech in the world of aviation, fulfilling the charity’s mission of inspiring young people.

“Seeing young people engage with aircraft, the pilots and the groundcrew is really rewarding and inspiring future generations is important to us as an event,” he added

“The charity does an incredible job in reaching young people, so if you have a youngster who is curious about aircraft, space, engineering and everything in between, we would love to see them at RAF Fairford this summer.” Tickets are available via www.airtattoo.com
