Cool Red Arrows?



Do they always travel everywhere in a cool as hell, low flying V formation ?

Just got "buzzed" at work, straight past the prewash pad by a low flying V formation of red fighter planes

Perfect blue sky here as well, a customer nearly crashed into the fence

lol you should watch the documentary on them that was on recently.
Followed them travelling to Canada, and all the stops they had to make along the way.

And ................yup they flew large segments in formation.

They always fly in formation, as they do flybys between events..

Anyone can request it, its FOC, unfortunately, weddings, funerals & birthdays are not covered

When I flew with them some time ago for a display at Plymouth, they flew in a fairly relaxed formation and I was allowed to do a bit of formation flying on the way. The display was a bit more intense though!

Why the flame suit when you are so close to the actuality?
