\u2022 Tickets for this year\u2019s event continue to sell at a record pace<\/strong> A series of aircraft participation confirmations from the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) has led to the event selling out on its busiest day.<\/p>\n The event\u2019s bumper aircraft announcement started with the Boeing F-15QA Ababil being unveiled in what will be a dynamic display with plenty of high-speed manoeuvres from this rare Qatari jet.<\/p>\n The world-renowned airshow, which is being held at RAF Fairford from July 19th-21st then revealed the Norwegian Yellow Sparrow display team will also be attending, the first time the display team have performed in the UK.<\/p>\n The Royal Moroccan Air Force, who are returning to the show for the first time since 1995, rounded off the unveilings with a pair of F-16 Fighting Falcons on static display.<\/p>\n Following on from the announcements, the show has now sold out on general admission for Saturday 20th July, with Friday 19th and Sunday 21st July still available but selling fast.<\/p>\n This year, the aviation showcase is highlighting the F-16 as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, 75-years of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the Royal Canadian Air Force\u2019s centenary as well as its operational theme of \u2018Pushing the Boundaries in Air and Space\u2019 in recognition of 100 years of military aviation Test and Evaluation flying.<\/p>\n Every year the event attracts 150,000 people to the rural airfield, with last year\u2019s show seeing over 250 aircraft in attendance.<\/p>\n RAFCTE Chief Executive Officer, Paul Atherton said<\/strong>: \u201cWe are very much looking forward to hosting the event again this year.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve some really interesting themes that explore all aspects of aviation from iconic fast jets to aircraft which operate in unique environments.<\/p>\n \u201cAgain, we are thrilled to see the level of support the show has received. We are very grateful that so many people enjoy our event and I\u2019d encourage anyone who is thinking of attending to get tickets while they still can.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to dazzling displays in the air with the likes of the Red Arrows, Spanish Harrier, Patrouille Suisse and Canadian Hornet already confirmed, there is plenty to see on the ground too with the show\u2019s Techno Zone\u00ae and Inspire Stage. These ground activities and exhibits support RIAT\u2019s parent charity, the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, and its ambition to inspire the next generation of aviators.<\/p>\n \u201cOn the showground we also have the Techno Zone and Inspire Stage, which are full of interactive exhibits and speakers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cAs an event we are focussed on encouraging young people to interact with STEM and aviation and both areas are hugely important to that.<\/p>\n \u201cUnder 18s continue to be able to attend the show free of charge and we would love to see more young people join us at RAF Fairford next month.\u201d<\/p>\n To buy tickets for this year\u2019s event visit www.AirTattoo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2022 Tickets for this year\u2019s event continue to sell at a record pace \u2022 Over 150 aircraft confirmed to take part with further announcements still to come \u2022 All U18s given free entry to the event A series of aircraft participation confirmations from the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) has led to the event selling … Continue reading Bumper aircraft announcement sparks Saturday sell out for Royal International Air Tattoo<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[336,46,10,179],"class_list":["post-2874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk-airshow-news","tag-336","tag-june","tag-news","tag-royal-international-air-tattoo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2874"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2874\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2875,"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2874\/revisions\/2875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.airscene.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
