(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Saudi Falcons Aerobatic Team has arrived in Britain to

The Kingdom's Royal Saudi Air Force will perform a thrilling air
display with its Airbus 330 MRTT, BAE Systems Hawk and Lockheed
C-130H Hercules, starting from July 14 to 16.
RIAT, The Royal International Air Tattoo, is a huge military
airshow including hundreds of modern military aircrafts from around
the world that perform captivating air displays.
The show will be held at the Royal Airforce Fairford (RAF)
station in Gloucestershire, UK, as is the tradition since 1985,
according to RIAT. The station, used quite infrequently for
deployments, is an ideal venue for the show.

SKYTANKER23, which is aimed to emphasize the vital role of
air-to-air refuelling in modern military flying.
“We aim to display the history of air-to-air refuelling from
humble beginnings in 1923, evolving through the last century, to
the modern aircraft which we see in service around the world
today,” RIAT said on their website.
The airshow on July 14 will be four hours long while on the
weekend, there will be shows with over seven hours of action-packed
flying displays.
