RIAT 2011

About

RIAT 2011 took place over the weekend 16th / 17th July 2011 and its theme;

40th Anniversary of the Air Tattoo

Join in the celebrations as the Air Tattoo reaches a remarkable milestone. First staged at North Weald airfield in 1971 with just over 100 aircraft taking part, it has rapidly developed to become one of the UK's premier outdoor events. During its long history the Air Tattoo has hosted aircraft from some 51 countries and it is hoped that participants from the past will once again take part in the 40th Anniversary.

50th Anniversary of the NATO Tiger Association

The Air Tattoo reinforces its strong links with NATO by hosting a celebration marking the 50th Anniversary of the NATO Tiger Association. Visitors to the Air Tattoo 2011 will be amazed by breathtaking colour and beauty as Tiger squadrons are invited to participate with displays of gloriously decorated aircraft celebrating 50 years of this most significant association.

STAR 11

STAR 11 (Strike, Attack and Reconnaissance) has been chosen as the Air Tattoo 2011 operational theme to reflect the ongoing multi-national operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere across the globe. With modern warfare becoming increasingly demanding and commanders needing a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of the battlefield before engagement, ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) will form an integral part of STAR 11. Visitors to the Air Tattoo 2011 will see the latest in satellite communications, swing-role fast jets, UAV's and battlefield helicopters.
