A long time supporter of vRIAT - @morgan99 is sending us two flying demos - both for all 3 days of the show!

Firstly the A380 in the Airbus house colours is coming at 1530Z, and the Royal Canadian Air Force CF-188 is flying at 1545Z.

We look forward to these demos flying high above Fairford this July!

Unfortunately this is true. We have closed SLVA due to the fact of its unpopularity within the community.

We are delighted today to announce that vRIAT is being treated to a demo from the Dash 8 Q400 in SecuritƩ Civile colours! This rare demonstration is occurring Saturday at 1415Z!

Sadly, this week we have heard from representatives of SriLankan Virtual who can no longer attend the show due to their VA closing down.

Work continues however with more VAs and participants, with more to be announced as we head towards the show!

A show favourite, today we are over the moon to announce the return of the F/A18 Hornet demo flown with expert pilots from IF Global Air Forces!

This demo is being flown Saturday at 14:20Z, don’t miss this classic part of vRIAT!

Over the past few days, we have been reminding the VAs we are in communications with about the event, so hopefully this brings many more aircraft in the days leading up to our show
