The final day of the Royal International Air Tattoo is the Departures Day. It attracts the most crowd of aviation enthusiasts and spotters attending compared to the other days of the airshow. On this day, all the aircraft that took part in the flying and the static displays return to their bases.

RIAT 2023 was graced by many rare visitors such as the Polish Air Force Su-22 Fitter, 4 AV-8B Harriers of the Spanish and Italian Navy, Hellenic Air Force F-4E Phantom II, Messerschmitt Me-262 and 4 Tornadoes from the Italian and German Air Forces. There are just too many types to mention, we saw about 240 aircraft departing this year.

Here, we have present about 80% of the departing aircraft in the rough sequence that they took off.
