Royal International Air Tattoo

Print your tickets for RAF Fairford’s Royal International Air Tattoo 2010, which promises to be one of the world’s biggest and best air shows, with hundreds of aircraft offering death-defying displays to crowds from across Gloucestershire and beyond.

The Royal International Air Tattoo 2010 is set to be one of the biggest air shows in the global calendar of aviation events, with almost 200,000 flying fans from across Gloucestershire and beyond due to converge at RAF Fairford for the two-day spectacular on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 July 2010.

While no tickets will be available to purchase on the day, you can still buy Sunday tickets to print at home directly from ticketmaster.co.uk, at a cost of £37.50.

One of the biggest stories of the Air Tattoo 2010 is that as part of the special celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the German Luftwaffe has been invited to join in the commemorative displays from all of the countries that participated in the historic events of 1940.

The Italian Air Force, which flew alongside the Luftwaffe, has also been invited, as well as Poland, New Zealand, Canada, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic and Slovakia), Australia, Belgium, South Africa, France, Ireland, the US, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Palestine Mandate (now Israel), Barbados and Jamaica.

During the eight-hour flying display the RAF Red Arrows will be a popular highlight once again in 2010, plus there will be fast jets, giant transporters, historic aircraft and much more, promise organisers.

More than two miles of static aircraft can also be seen on the ground, as well as flight simulators, cars, shopping malls and a fairground, not to mention the chance to see stunt car driving, extreme sports, a Robot Zone and a free evening concert, as well as the Tri@RIAT interactive showcase for the kids.

Plus, Sunday visitors can also see Flawless, stars of the new film Streetdance 3D and Britain's Got Talent perform.
