Royal International Air Tattoo 2011, RAF Fairford - 16th-17th July - Wednesday Arrivals

As always, Wednesday at RIAT seemed a little quiet. Unusually, the B-52 did not arrive today nor did many of the heavier types. However, some of the stars of the flying did appear. The Saudis were out in force, with the team and their support C-130H Hercules arriving from their previous commitment at Koksijde in Belguim. They also managed to rehearse under the grey skies.
