\"RIAT<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This week brings exciting news as we reveal the first Royal Air Force participants confirmed for RIAT26! ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this year\u2019s \u2018Fighter Meet\u2019 theme, we\u2019re pleased to welcome back the RAF Typhoon Display Team with their award-winning display. They\u2019ll be joined by the iconic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight with the Dakota, Spitfire and Hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re 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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing this week\u2019s 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\u2019s plenty more to come as the RIAT26 participation list continues to grow.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
