^{International
Air Tattoo 2006}

The Royal International Air Tattoo is the world’s greatest military airshow and is held each year at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire in support of the RAF Benevolent Fund.

Well, the long awaited aviation event of the year took place in the Cotswolds under near cloudless skies and temperatures well up into the 80s as crowds flocked to the shrine of the annual Air Tattoo.

Whilst the static park was again smaller, compared with previous years, the events in the air more than made up for it. With the first outing of the Bell-Boeing MV-22B Osprey making its airshow debut together with the 'one-off' MiG-29M (OVT) with vectored thrust made it a truly great show.
