RIAT 2006 opened
for business with the tradition first arrival by
a USAF ACC B-52H Stratofortress. Overall,
Wednesday was much quieter than usual with arrivals
taking place between 0900L and 1630L. Stars of the
day were from Greece and Turkey. The first part
of the Greek Contigent arrived today; a pair of
A-7H Corsair II, one of which was the example
in a spectacular tiger scheme while the other wore
tradition camoflage. The Turkish F-4E Phantom
IIs turned up a matter of minutes later. Making
a UK show debut was the Royal Danish Air Force EH101
Merlin in full search and rescue markings. Hopefully
the good weather enjoyed today will continue on
into the weekend. Paul Johnson/Flightline
