The world famous RIAT, (Royal International Air Tattoo) will take place on 8 – 10 July at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. This years theme will be ‘The Next Generation: Inspiring Innovation’, so with that in mind the F-35 Lightning II, the world’s latest fighter jet will take to the skies to showcase the next generation of air power.
When it comes to firing the imagination of the next generation of engineers, scientists and aviators the Air Tattoo will spotlight the men, women and machines that also represent the future of aviation.
Visitors to RIAT will experience cutting-edge aircraft technology on display both in the air and on the show ground with Top Guns from around the world taking part in an action-packed 8 hour flying display (4 hours on Friday) demonstrating their skills at the controls of the latest fighter jets such as the F-35, F-22 and Typhoon as well as the Gripen, F-16, Rafale and Mirage.
