Confirmed Aircraft

Here you'll find the complete list of all the exciting aircraft that were officially confirmed to take part in the 2016 Air Tattoo. Those listed in blue have links to more information.

Aircraft get added to the Aircraft Participation List when written confirmation from a civilian operator or military air arm has been received, stating that they plan to send an aircraft or aerobatic display team to the show. However, the appearance by any aircraft cannot be guaranteed due to serviceability, operational commitments or other reasons outside the control of the Event Organisers.
