RIAT 2023: BEST OF ARRIVALS & TAKE OFFS 4K (airshowvision)

Very extensive coverage of Thursday's arrivals and validation day at the RIAT Airshow 2023 from RAF Fairford in England. Shot in high quality 4K UHD and fully edited to my usual standard.
There are dozens and dozens of aircraft on this video, ranging from light aircraft to the giant bombers and transport aircraft of the world's air forces, plus helicopters of all shapes and sizes, and of course the mighty front line fighter jets.
I have concentrated on the arrivals more than the validation displays, however the take-offs and some favourite moves are included here, with the Dassault Rafale very much playing a starring role with its' absolutely epic practise display - my favourite moves are included here.
Aircraft to look out for on this video are the Five F-35's from the UK, US and Dutch Air Forces, the Four AV8-B Harriers from the Italian and Spanish Air Forces, multiple Typhoons from Qatar, UK, Kuwait, Italy, and German Luftwaffe (one has a very special Israel themed colour scheme.)
Display clips include the Finnish F18 Hornet, the Swdish Gripen, the Italian AF M346 and EF2000 Typhoon, The Me262, the Spanish AV8-B Harriers, the Belgian F16, and the French Dassault Rafale C.
One very special Typhoon is the brand-new example from the Qatar Air Force with a stunning camo paint scheme.
The vintage segment includes a Polish AF Sukhoi SU22 Fitter, and the very special Messersmitt Me262 replica making probably it's first ever visit to a UK air show, and the take-off is included here, plus a couple of display clips!
Huge transport aircraft are coming and going throughout this video, including A400's (including a Belgian example), Hercules, and the giant C-17 from the UAE taking off.
AIr Forces assets featured on this video include RAF, USAF, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Belgian, Dutch, Romanian, Swedish, Finland, Czech, Poland, Canada, UAE, Qatar, and many more . . .
Despite the horrific weather at RIAT 2023, this day was not bad with only the occasional light shower and a fair bit of sun!

The Rafale blew me away!! 🤘😱😱

[@tgrx1901]

Amazing. The loop into the landing was superb!

[@airshowvision]

I have loved it since I first saw it in 2009

[@lamsior]

What an absolute legendary aircraft.

[@knightflightvideo]

Great footage of the RIAT arrivals & take offs! Thumbs up! 👍😊👍

[@airshowvision]

Thank You - I give it my all every time. Once the video processing is complete in 2 hours the picture quality should be epic!

[@Thedavidkuz]

Awesome

Went there yesterday, was a blast!

Rafale pilots' necks must have Lvl5000000000000000000 armour the Gs they must be pulling is insane

[@airshowvision]

Thank God the French Air Force allow them to do it - although I understand they are now limited to +9G and -4G which is less than previously.

Wow GripenE I love it ❤👍

[@airshowvision]

How do you visually tell the difference between the C and E (apart from the current colour scheme)?

[@AllericEnslin]

@@airshowvision Gripen E has bigger internal fuel tanks so at the wing roots youll see a bit of a bulge. Only saw a C in the video

[@airshowvision]

@@AllericEnslin Thanks for that info - I couldn't see any obvious differences. Now I know what to look out for!

At present there are only nine original Me-262s left, all of them in museums, and only one is working (the one in the Flying Heritage Collection, in Everett, USA, which is in the process of being restored so that it can return to fly with its original Jumo 004 engines). In addition, two Avia S-92 (the Czechoslovakian version) are preserved in a museum in the Czech Republic. However, it is still possible to see some Me-262s fly, as the American company Texas Airplane Factory has built five replicas of the Me-262 in the last 20 years, and at least three of them are in airworthy, although not with Jumo 004 engines, but with General Electric CJ610 turbojets. One of those replicas is a Me 262B-1c (the W.Nr.501244, D-IMTT), which is owned by the Messerschmitt Foundation, created in 1969 by Willy Messerschmitt, the designer of the Me- 262 and the even more famous Bf-109. Hopefully the one in Everett, USA will be airworthy by 2028 (That is the goal) .

[@airshowvision]

It would be great if the original could fly again, but maybe not wise to use the original engines as they are reportedly extremely unreliable - very brave men flew these jets in WWII

[@FiveCentsPlease]

@@airshowvision Billionaire Paul Allen spared no expense in many of his restorations for his museum. The Jumo engines for his Me-262 were overhauled in California for short display flights, and with some new-manufactured material. His passing and closing of the museum had slowed down many interesting projects like the Me-262 and Stuka. Another wealthy investor has reopened the museum recently.

[@2wheels2strokes4ever]

@@FiveCentsPlease Thanks for that great information.

[@heatherstub]

I'm also interested in being able to hear my text-to-speech screen reading software telling me the information with time stamps telling us what aircraft is when. Being totally blind since birth, I've always loved airplanes, so I love to get used to the sounds of each. It would mean so much if you could please do that. Thanks.

[@oat138]

Wonderful video work, however it would be nice to see some descriptions of what we are looking at.

[@airshowvision]

Yes it would have been nice but there were just so so many graphics to make (hundreds maybe) which would have added several hours to the edit, and it needed to be released as quicky as possible. Perhaps next year I could make the graphics in advance?

[@heatherstub]

Here here!

@@airshowvision my dad loved it and we will be back next year. I think we are going to do the Sunday and then Monday departures, as we missed out on seeing the F-4 Phantom fly. Take care.

@@MC-gf7nt I got the Phantom yesterday - it actually got a fault, came back and I think eventually left a second time after the RIAT enclosure closed.

This is fantastic! The audio quality is even better than another channel that does livestreams from several British airshows and more. Keep up the great work!

[@airshowvision]

Thank You. I will bear your comments in mind for the future. Post-edited videos will always be better than livestreams as you can cut out the bits when nothing is happening.

[@heatherstub]

Thank you so much. I'll keep this in mind. Heather@@airshowvision

[@nielsdorhout058]

The ME-262 finally made its way to England after 80 years 😂

[@airshowvision]

Yes finally!

[@tango6nf477]

Two things I find amazing 1. the ME 262 was developed a mere 30 years after Bleriot flew the channel. 2. other countries still use the Harrier while we, who invented it, prematurely sold ours off the America for spares! Its what happens when Politicians make military decisions

[@airshowvision]

The "David Cameron Disaster" I call it - what a failure his term was.

[@tonyf9076]

Nice vid mate, cheeky little sub from me 😎

[@airshowvision]

Much appreciated

[@sambonfield3188]

What version are those spanish harriers? Anyone know? They look a bit different to the UK GR7/9s

[@airshowvision]

I think they just go under the AV8-B name

[@jackhardy9409]

They use the designation EAV-8B Matador. They look different to the UK gr9 because they use the radome of the USMC Harriers that was never installed on RAF variants

[@sambonfield3188]

@@jackhardy9409 ah thanks. I thought it was an fa2 sea harrier when i first saw the nose because of that

[@jackhardy9409]

I think ITS from General Electric ....ITS a Replica

[@jamielee9350]

@@phillipbanes5484 At last .. someone who knows what they are talking about. It derived from the military J85 . You say say much more powerful , after many , many years of service and handling , I would say 75%-80% more reliable as well.

[@richardtargett4128]

⁠@@jamielee9350As the original Jumo engines were scrapped after only 25 running hours, I’d put modern reliability more like 99% more reliable.

I had to endure the Typhoon and wait until 1:15:10 to see the Rafale performance but it was there. Thumb up.

[@sambonfield3188]

😅😅😅😅 I thought I was the only one who really doesnt see what everyone else is seeing with typhoon. And why always with that ugly drop tank?

[@alexdarcydestsimon3767]

@@sambonfield3188 i see three design flaws with the typhoon. - low wings means small bombs - canards are placed such a way, you might loose the sight. - the two air intake are too close one from each other. If one engine stalls, the air will block the intake for the 2nd engine. So it's the first "2 engine one air intake" plane. I wouldn't be the guy flying it.

[@sambonfield3188]

Hereś a uestion: If the limit of survivability is 9g and the typhoon is supposed to be limited to keep the pilot awake, why is the rafale so much more agile??? Why cant typhoon zip around like that???
