High-Flying Trophies Created for RIAT

The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) is widely considered to be the world’s greatest airshow and much anticipated by aircrew and visitors alike. It is not only a thrilling air spectacle but a weekend of family entertainment, which this year attracted over 160,000 visitors across the four-day spectacle, commencing 14 July. There were 63 military delegations in attendance, 246 aircraft from 32 air arms, representing 26 nations at the show. Highlights included a demonstration by USAF Thunderbirds and a flypast by the Stealth B-2 Spirit.

The event is staged in support of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, which aims to develop a spirit of air-mindedness in youngsters (cadets) and promotes excellence within the Royal Air Force. The Trustees award grants to worthy projects and individuals which reflect the charity’s objectives.
