P.S THE MIRAGE GAVE IT A GOOD GO FOR US AT THE WEST END OF THE GROUND

ad also check out my video responses most of my footage is pretty naf but i got a few things and tell me wot u think

[Eleymedia]

DUDE i went to departure day too and i agree most of the pilots were very very standard however the raptor gave a good old go at showing off his moves and i got some great footage

RIAT BE BACK NEXT YEAR!

[Hannibal819]

I believe that standard departures were introduced by RIAT after an F-16 pilot buzzed the FRIAT stand in 2006. Its a shame as I was never able to see some really low, fast and dirty passes :P

[MartinDaLegend]

What wing are u at??

[Hannibal819]

What wing?... Im in 366 King Ecgberts Sqd. in Sheffield. I was assigned to Bulldog flight and then later Canberrra. My Sqd. wing is South and West Yorkshire

[douper1]

[Hannibal819]

Hi,

Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the majority of the departures :( Were they all standard or did any of the pilots show off a bit?

[douper1]

hey they were pritty standard general wing tips to the crowd a few pilots came over to the barrior and gave away a few goodies i.e cup holders and stickers lol but the way i see it is at least we got to see a few fly before we went and drove another 170 miles home and cried ;@)

[Hannibal819]

lol stickers, its a shame you couldn't come on the friday to see the practice displays. F-22 :0

[Zobo79]

Thanks for that, dude. The view wasn't quite so good from the 'civvy' side of the fence. Kinda wish I hadn't left the MoD now ;-}

[Hannibal819]

Hey np ;)

Which campsite were you on? Was it directly below the air cadet base or closer to the airfield?
