The principal planned BBMF airshow appearances for 2022 have now been announced. As ever, these planned appearances by BBMF aircraft at events around the country are subject to change and are dependent on suitable weather and aircraft availability. This list of dates and events covers only the major airshows that the BBMF is tasked to attend; many additional flypasts are also scheduled at other events of all shapes and sizes. The BBMF is typically tasked to fly at over 50 air displays and to complete around 800 flypasts during each display season, generating over 1,000 individual aircraft appearances every year, with an estimated audience of eight million people. Each BBMF sortie usually includes several events to maximise opportunities within the limited aircraft flying hours available.
