PhantomPhreakII Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Gents, Its a mere 2 weeks untill the RIAT 2010 (at RAF Fairford, as usual)... I'll be there, on the Saturday, along with my wife and a very good friend of mine. So.. who else will be there?? ARC group photo maybe (yes "Crazy" Don a photo...) would be fun.. Harald ps I'll be the one with the goofy hat and aircraft related t-shirt... Edited July 2, 2010 by PhantomPhreakII Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I've got a 'Mach 2' ticket - so Friday to Monday inclusive. I'll be mainly in the FRIAT enclosure - but if anyone names a place and time to meet up, I'm up for it. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Linden Hill Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Since I have to be at Farnborough the week after for my 'proper' job, I'll be there, no doubt sharing a few tinctures with Flankerman over the weekend. I have to say that I'm underwhelmed by the RIAT's PR tactics related to the Romanian MiG-21 cancellation. Marketing the show on the back of the Lancers and then keeping schtumm that they're not coming is a bit shabby, to say the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Since I have to be at Farnborough the week after for my 'proper' job, It's a hard life, Guy - but someone has to do it..... I'll be there, no doubt sharing a few tinctures with Flankerman over the weekend. Looking forward to it.... I have to say that I'm underwhelmed by the RIAT's PR tactics related to the Romanian MiG-21 cancellation. Marketing the show on the back of the Lancers and then keeping schtumm that they're not coming is a bit shabby, to say the least. I am so old and cynical now that I don't believe anything that anyone promises anymore...... That way, I am never disappointed..... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pollie Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 And what about the An-32 from, what was it, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka? Gone from the list! I bought a combo ticket, so will be there on either the saturday or sunday, depending on the weather. The other day will be spend in the farmland across the runway, and the monday in the Park and View on the west side. If the wind is from the west, that is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 There's a group from work that's supposed to go, so I'll see if I can tag along. Holmes should know what I'm talking about. Cheers, -Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fanakit Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I'll be there only on the sunday, I hope the weather will be fine... Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PhantomPhreakII Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Group photo for those visiting on the Saturday?? Harald ps where?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Group photo for those visiting on the Saturday??Harald ps where?? The best 'fixed' place would be in front of (or as near as you can get to it) - the control tower. See number 12 on this map. I suggest 12 noon - in front of the Information/Police/First Aid/etc tent in front of the control tower in the map above. Now - what to wear - a pink carnation ?? a silly hat ?? a blue balloon ?? a white ballerina outfit ?? an Imperial Stormtrooper outfit ??? None of those are any good - there is bound to be some non-Arcer wearing one (or all) of the above.... Any suggestions??? Ken PS - And are we 'Arkers' ........ or 'Arsers' ??

Sebastijan Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 an Imperial Stormtrooper outfit ??? I vote for this one! :D Although I'd prefer a Katarn armor of Republic Commandos :D PS - And are we 'Arkers' ........ or 'Arsers' ??

Flankerman Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) I vote for this one! :lol: Although I'd prefer a Katarn armor of Republic Commandos :lol: The only trouble is, we would get mistaken for the REAL Stormtroopers....... (photo taken at RIAT 2005 - I told you there were all sorts of nutters in attendance.... ) These guys were just wandering around the crowd - dunno what they were doing..... looking for Droids presumably... There is only one way to stand out from the crowd at Fairford ............. and that is to look normal. Ken Edited July 7, 2010 by Flankerman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well, if there are any Stormtroopers walking about that look like this ... Please, take plenty of photos ! Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djack Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I am hoping within the next couple fo years to head overseas to go to this airshow. I've got to do some research and start some planning...I've never traveled out of the U.S. so should be interesting getting there, and figuring out where to stay.

As for what to wear... pink isn't my color, but I'll have an aviaton themed t-shirt on ad a khaki basball cap with NLD on the front, like our boys and girls wear in Afghanistan.
