"YEP"  I`m visiting Sunday as working Friday night into Saturday morning. Also booked seats in the viewing village to get a good view and somewhere to park my behind. Been a long wait since I booked, but nearly there.  Just keeping everything crossed for decent weather now.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Be aware.... "Air Tattoo 2017 tickets are being sold on a number auction of sites. RIAT Terms & Conditions clearly state they are not for resale. We have asked the auctions sites to remove the tickets however we can also trace these tickets (even if the address and barcode are covered) and will be deleting these tickets so they will not be valid for the event.

Nice photo Tom. Shame RIAT is a UK show, it would be a great opportunity for Carl to gather detail photos for his 'USAF 70th Anniversary' build project?
