Już za 100 dni w bazie RAF w angielskim Fairford odbędzie się 54 edycja jednej z największych imprez lotniczych na świecie czyli The Royal International AIR TATTOO. Ta odbywająca się już od 1971 roku lotnicza impreza jest dla wielu pasjonatów lotnictwa i fotografii lotniczej swoistym “must have” w kalendarzu lotnych imprez.
Także i my postanowiliśmy udać się w tym roku w podróż do kraju Szekspira i na własne oczy zobaczyć jakie cuda będą prezentować się na niebie i ziemi w bazie RAF w Fairford.
Tegoroczna edycja AIR TATTOO odbywać się będzie pod hasłem “Eyes in the Skies” i jak sam organizator zapowiedział: “Samoloty określane jako podniebne oczy odgrywają istotną rolę lotnictwa w dziedzinach pomiarów lotniczych, wczesnego ostrzegania, patroli morskich, poszukiwań i ratownictwa, rozpoznania, wywiadu sygnałowego i nadzoru powietrznego.” Będzie to uczczenie specjalnych jednostek, które zostały zbudowane do konkretnych, wymagających funkcji lub też zostały poddane głębokim modyfikacjom, dzięki którym mogą sprostać specyficznym wymaganiom służby.
