Royal International Air Tattoo 2016 | FULL REPORT

In this video, we take an extensive look at RIAT 2016. The report includes arrivals footage, interviews with the Patrouille Suisse and Strikemaster pilot, and cockpit footage from the Belgian F-16, Patrouille Suisse and Krila Oluje. Other highlights included the Red Arrows, Frecce Tricolori, Polish MiG-29, French Rafale C, Ramex Delta, USAF F-22, Boeing F/A-18, Swedish Gripen, SoloTürk, four Typhoons and of course the F-35 Lightning II on its UK debut.

"... loud music and a painfully excitable commentator." Exactly! I wish they wouldn't do that. You can hear it in other videos shot in the US. I would much rather hear the plane or the person next to me. Thanks for the informative, beautifully shot and well-produced video.

[@ThisisFlight]

Ha! So I'm not the only one that thinks that! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching

Very good report mate. Commentary was informative and professional and production quality was of a high standard. Thank you.

[@ThisisFlight]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's nice to hear positive feedback regarding our work!

[@MeqoMan]

Really great commentary, was at the show this year and I loved every second, I'm back again next year, and cannot wait to see what the Americans bring over as it's one of there anniversarys for being in the UK, once again a great report :)

[@ThisisFlight]

Glad you enjoyed it. Really looking forward to RIAT 2017, should be a good one! Looking at their schedule, looks like the Thunderbirds may be giving us a visit.

[@jakethompson4641]

I enjoy the fact this report (and a couple others) are long length and have a decent informative commentary, longer vids like this again in the future please :)

[@ThisisFlight]

I'm glad you like the format! Unfortunately the Air Tattoo organisers made it clear after the 2018 show that this kind of coverage was impacting their DVD sales, and their T&Cs when purchasing tickets now make this kind of coverage impossible. Very few other events I've attended warrent such a long run time. Out of curiosity, have you watched the recent episodes of Airshow Dispatches? It depends on the lineup, how long I'm at the show, and whether I have a good viewing spot, but I've generally settled on 20-30 minutes. Undeniably the longer videos have been the most popular, though. If you think the more recent videos are too short, that'd be a very interesting bit of feedback!

[@jakethompson4641]

This is Flight I have and although the footage is 10/10 I do say I prefer the longer videos, I can't for the life of me explain why though 😂 I seem to be more drawn to aviation videos 45+ mins long, keep up the good work though!!!

[@ThisisFlight]

Very interesting - and noted, as we move into 2020. This year I'm certainly hoping to get to at least one event worth covering for 1hr+, so stay tuned. Thanks!

Awsome video

[@stevenclark1973]

Brilliant thankyou

[@MW-cn4xi]

Awsome video!

[@RTAWolfeye]

Very good report, thank you for sharing us this great moment! As French, I'm quite sad to see the Ramex Delta Display end... The Patrouille de France wasn't at RIAT this year?

[@ThisisFlight]

Glad you enjoyed it! Usually Patrouille de France come every two years, so they should be back in 2017.

[@RTAWolfeye]

Thanks for the answer, keep up the good work!

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

Commentary is quality

[@ThisisFlight]

Wondered if it might be a bit dull, so thank you!

[@AdrianN.88]

Why was riat 2016 an end of an era for the Frecce!??

[@AdrianN.88]

ah yes the Aermacchi M-345 :/ :/

SOLO TÜRRRRRK

[@connormatt8516]

It not working for me

[@ThisisFlight]

Due to a copyright strike on the music used in the Frecce Tricolori display, the video won't work on most mobile devices. It's fine on computers. I'm working to solve that and dispute the strike.

[@ThisisFlight]

Hi Connor, it should work fine everywhere now

[@michalvanka8716]

[@pinco752]

Why next year does not invite the Russian SU-35!! It would be again more a beautiful and fantastic show!

[@ThisisFlight]

While many of us would love to see the Su-35, or indeed any Russian aircraft, the RAFCTE are not allowed to invite Russia for political reasons. Even if they did, the chances of Russia actually sending aircraft would be very small.

[@pinco752]

This is Flight Thanks for the fast answer! I thought it was for this reason! Such a pity! However this is only an exhibition flight, which would attract fans from around the globe! Su-35 great qualities of maneuver and power! However , I was present at the air show in July and saw planes from countries that were not part of OTAN. I hope that one day Russia will be invited!! Greeting from France!!

[@ThisisFlight]

I also hope Russia will be invited. I know lots of people, including myself, think that airshows should not be political. Seeing an Su-35, or perhaps the Russian Knights, would be amazing, and I hope it can happen soon

[@pinco752]

This is Flight I think that today our dream is impossible to happen!!
