From what I've seen they're doing a flypast every day, possibly as a formation.

The JASDF confirmed the C-2 is coming to RIAT this year.

Saw that announced too ... now I'm truely gutted

A Romanian MiG-21 crashed today during Borcea Open Day. Unofficial word going around is that it was their display bird that way scheduled for RIAT, and their appearance will now be cancelled. The pilot was initially reported to have ejected but was later reported to have died.

RIAT time again. Happily the Romanian MiG21 made it this year. Posted in remembrance of the pilot who didn't.

I'll be adding mine over the course of the week I have 1000+ pics to go through

Oooh I tell you what I did do for the first time at a RIAT show I went inside two aircraft, an AWACS and a Qatari C-17 that was fun

The highlight for me at the show

I really wanted to do that, but as i was there for press and had the whole show to cover in one day I simply had no time to get in the queues. One day

Well I had to queue for about 5 mins for the Qatari C-17 but when I got to the AWACS they had just set up the steps to get access, plus I was there as soon as the gates opened so there weren't too many people, I was within the first ten people going into the AWACS
