Royal International Air Tattoo 2018
This official souvenir video programme is a superb way to re-live all the action from the international celebration of the Royal Air Force Centenary at the Royal International Air Tattoo 2018.
Flying display highlights include a special tribute to the legendary 617 ‘Dambusters’ Squadron with the BBMF Lancaster in formation with the squadron’s current aircraft, the Tornado GR4, and the RAF’s new state-of-the-art F-35B Lightning II. Another flypast features nine RAF Typhoons in formation, as part of Centenary celebrations.
Other flying highlights include displays by the US Air Force Heritage Flight; the Ukrainian Su-27 Flanker; the Royal Canadian Air Force CF-188 Hornet; the French Aeronavale Rafale M duo; the Italian Frecce Tricolori aerobatic display team and the RAF’s Red Arrows. We also re-live the surprise flypast by a US Air Force B-2A Spirit stealth bomber that had made the round trip from its base in Missouri, US.
In-cockpit cameras give dramatic views of the action during many of the displays, including the RAF Typhoon, Patrulla Aguila, A400m and the Lancaster.
