THE Royal International Air Tattoo, the world’s largest military airshow, has announced that it will provide a weekend of virtual flying displays, interviews and never-before-seen footage.

The Virtual Air Tattoo will be a free-to-view live-streamed event on Saturday and Sunday with a minimum of four hours of live, unique, video content aired on each day.

The broadcast will focus on flying display action, using footage from previous Air Tattoo displays and a unique twist with the inclusion of true ‘virtual’ displays flown on flight simulation programmes by skilled gamers from across Europe, including RAF eSports who will follow the broadcast with a special tournament.

The Virtual Air Tattoo will also give a ‘behind the scenes’ view of military aviation with content from the Royal Air Force, International Air Arms and our Aerospace Industry Partners.

Working with PlanesTV, the programme will be hosted from a live studio by aviation expert and Air Tattoo commentator, Ben Dunnell, as well as special guests.
