RIAT 2023: THE DEPARTURES 4K (airshowvision)

Here is the AIRSHOWVISION video of the RIAT 2023 Departures day, where literally hundreds of different types of Military aircraft are launched from RAF Fairford in just a few hours.
It is often said that it is one of the busiest airfields in the country on this day following the airshow.
I will list some of the exact locations for certain star items later, but expect to see the special RAF C17 Globemaster III which carried the body of Queen Elizabeth II from Scotland to London.
Also the Messerschmitt Me262 is here, plus several F35s from the Dutch AF, the RAF, and the USAF.
As a general guide - the departures begin with a number of helicopters before the fixed wing jets begin to leave, and the USAF assets leave around half an hour from the end of the video.
There are far too many types to mention just now . . . just enjoy this epic compilation which despite its length has been significantly edited down to size!
There is also a pretty rare sighting at the very end of the video for anyone who can make it that far!

The best footage of aviation , close up , better than crowd side , well done everyone !!

[@airshowvision]

Thank You - Yes. Far more interesting spot than the FRIAT Grandstand.

[@luizribas543]

Congrats for the wonderful and superb job! Magnificent footage! Regards from Brazil😎

[@airshowvision]

Thank you very much!

[@meertenwelleman4600]

Hi guys, I am watching this show now on my tv-set and it is absolutely mind blowing. Great close-ups! There were many Dutch enthusiasts where you were filming. I hear them in the background. Cheers and thanks!

[@airshowvision]

Thank You - an immense amount of stress and hard work goes into this to try get a good position to enable this to happen. I am relieved it worked out!

[@meertenwelleman4600]

The hard work is clearly visible on the screen.

[@Primus54]

Those little trainer aircraft several countries use for their aerobatic teams are sure colorful and numerous. I enjoy watching them for their creative precision and multi-colored smoke shows. But for me, nothing can substitute the absolute power, speed and loud, after-burning engines of military fighter jets like the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds.

[@SHAHRUKH_GAMING]

[@user-cm1ty5zi6y]

Note at 16:55 The caption on the nose: "God Bless You" Wow! You don't see that very often on any Military Aircraft! I was very touched when I caught that. And what an awesome video you've made! Great job👍👍

[@airshowvision]

Thanks - The Saudis put that caption on their fighter jets too!

@@airshowvision Not been to Riat for a while but your video has made up my mind to go next year❤️

[@avoidingtrees6692]

Thanks for this video sir. Cheers from France and god bless the king 👏

[@airshowvision]

Thank You and Gob Bless Charles III, he has been waiting a while to get his first proper job!

[@frankdaloisio1498]

What an amazing video. . . and a great way to conclude with the arrival of the U-2 Dragon Lady. Great job!

[@airshowvision]

Thanks for your comments - The U2 arrival was not expected, although the USAF departed another just half an hour before the enclosure opened in the morning - robbing the public of a chance to see this leave. Many people were gutted about that!

[@heatherstub]

And so they should be. @@airshowvision

[@CaseyHowdenPhoto]

Beautiful footage, thank you for shooting and editing it. Only and hour in at the moment; the Rafales are the highlight so far along with the Luftwaffe CH-53.

[@airshowvision]

Thank You - good luck getting to the end!

[@airshowvision]

The Rafale display is certainly very busy, although the UK Typhoon display is brilliant this year too with a better livery!

[@airshowvision]

Thank You Sir!

[@WingTip-Sonic]

Super Cool Video

[@pinverarity]

For a gigantic multi-day show like this, where do all the guest pilots & crew stay?

[@airshowvision]

I think they block book all the local hotels permanently for this weekend, and it makes it pretty difficult to get accommodation. The cadets all have large tented accommodation on base.

[@stevenbarnes2456]

I think they all stay in the hangers

[@tomalcock620]

The F4 Phantom is super impressive!!!

[@airshowvision]

Genuine piece of nostalgia!

[@erikerice9068]

Yep, that at the end was worth it.

💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏

[@GenericWhiteMan00]

Was there a scheduled list of departures? Or did the crews leave as they were ready?

[@airshowvision]

I think there was a detailed schedule, but like all schedules things go wrong, and some planes went tech!

[@hoeunPhayut]

I want to get one keep infront of my home haha

[@MrDaiki_]

If the tower had told us about the U2 we'd have let you stay to film it! 😅

[@airshowvision]

It's OK, clearly the USAF planned this mission to avoid anyone getting photos of it - setting it off 30 mins before the enclosure opened and bringing it back after it closed. Very unfortunate though because this is the first bit of (non static) footage I have got of the U2 in over 18 years of coming to RIAT, and it was compromised by the buildings.

[@MrDaiki_]

@airshowvision I imagine this was the case. I was one of the RAF personnel on flightline checks, had to duck under all the cameras when something was happening! We saw a U2 take-off early on Wednesday while I was at breakfast, before they let the crowds in for arrival viewings. So probably planned as you say.

[@user-zx8ol1qq4s]

Also watch yourselves out there and your back your never know who may envy you......

[@erikerice9068]

During my birthdays and holidays I receive nothing I look down at scurtize and it really bothers me you know I feel deeply in my heart that we are all we have and no matter what we must be here for your Brothers and Sisters and not deceive them when I believe in you all I don't like to make it sound like I a weak man bagging but knowing that's I am never alone. I stand and fight for what I know is right even against those who are supposed to be here for what's right but using their power and influence to make me feel weak and unwinnable...... I feel in my heart you all their with me but it doesn't seem like it..... Love you all be safe and do a Great Job and Make it back home safely.........

Why does nobody upload in 50fps.................. amateurs

[@airshowvision]

Because the cameras wont do it - the idea of shooting in 50 or 100fps is just a dream . . . and yes we are enthusiastic amateurs - nothing wrong with that.

[@pinverarity]

Strange misspelling of “thank you for the gorgeous, unique, and completely free-to-watch video.”

[@psarras01]

​@@pinverarity Strange interpretation of "free" - if you don't have to pay for something then YOU are the product: ads, data etc - it's 2023, get educated.

[@pinverarity]

@@psarras01 Well, I’ve got a Ph.D., so it’d be hard to get more educated. Perhaps you’re just unfamiliar with the meaning of the word ‘free’-it means ‘available without payment’. Y’know…like KZbin videos.

[@psarras01]

@@pinverarity That's cool, in your area of expertise I'm sure you have a vast knowledge. For the reasons I stated above, clearly it's not "free", you're being inundated with ads left right and centre and the harvesting of your data which is then sold to the highest bidder. If it was "free" then how is it a viable business.....
