The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) at RAF Fairford in the UK reports a record number of acceptances in response to invitations sent to international air forces. Approximately 250 military aircraft from 25 countries, and air chiefs from more than 40 countries, are attending the event, which takes place this weekend before the Farnborough International Airshow opens. Highlights include a U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bomber, the Saudi, Korean and UAE aerobatic teams, and first-ever visits by the Colombian and Japanese air arms.
