RAF Cosford Air Show 2025: The 32 incredible aircraft flying and on display as show returns this weekend

If you've been lucky enough to snag tickets to the now sold-out RAF Cosford Air Show this Sunday, June 8, here are some of the aircraft and pilots and you should expect to see.

If not - it's eyes to the sky and you might be able to catch a glimpse of some of the dozens of planes and helicopters set to soar above the Midlands.

This year, visiting pilots include the Great War Display Team, commemorating the skilled pilots of the Great War with a range of British, French and German replica WWI aircraft in an exciting dog-fighting routine.

The group's collection of historic aircraft includes an Avro 504, Fokker Dr1 Triplanes, Junkers CL1 and an RAF SE5.

Keep an eye out for the appearance of an Extra 330, which is being flown by world-renowned aerobatics pilot Mélanie Astles, an accomplished aerobatics pilot with six French and two English championship titles to her name. 

In 2016, Mélanie became the first woman to take part in the Red Bull Air Race.

Among all the planes and helicopters, there will also be a display from the RAF Falcons, the UK's premier military parachute display team.
