Great news everyone, the Royal Jordanian Falcons will be back, again, so everyone has a clear 40 minutes or so to get some food, browse the statics and shops without missing anything interesting.

FFS RIAT more fast jets display teams not these yawn inducers! (although I'm sure what they do take a lot of skill, its just so boring).

The Jordanians are a great display team & their display is very good, it's sad (and tragic imho) for people hold this opinion.

They're stalwarts of the show, even more so for this year, RIAT wouldn't be RIAT without the Jordanians, remember not many people tried to fly last year on the Friday but the RJF did and do most years if the weather is bad not to mention the special tails schemes they do every year for RIAT & their European season

They are a great display team, same with the Swiss, and the Italians for the occasional jeopardy.

Reality is, very little of the old, smoky and loud is on flying display at RIAT any more. Doesn't stop me though - so let's embrace what is there.

+1

Another fan of the Falcons, great displays, really nice individuals and also got to watch them put on a display in Aqaba where they were flying below the hotels windows rofl

I would rather see them than the Red’s, best of the bunch though is the Italians.
