Tour of Canada 2024, relocation and earlier international tours

Maple hawk 2024, red arrows 2024 tour of canada.

Red Arrows Rollbacks

The Red Arrows are due to tour Canada in 2024

The Red Arrows will visit Canada later this year to help mark the Royal Canadian Air Force’s centennial.

The tour will take place between late-August and September and will last about five-weeks.

The tour is taking place during the 60th anniversary season of the Red Arrows, in recognition of which each of the aircraft features special diamond anniversary artwork.

The team will be back to its traditional nine-aircraft strength for the first time since 2021 and their displays will feature manoeuvres not seen for a generation.

British High Commissioner to Canada, Susannah Goshko, said:

“It’s fantastic that on the 100th anniversary of the RCAF, the Red Arrows have chosen to come to Canada to celebrate our shared military ties. “In their own 60th Anniversary year, the Red Arrows tour across Canada will be both a joy to watch and a fantastic way to highlight the close and enduring relationship between our two Air Forces.”

Lieutenant-General E.J. Kenny, Commander, Royal Canadian Air Force, said:

“I am thrilled the Royal Air Force Red Arrows will join the Royal Canadian Air Force this summer as we celebrate the RCAF Centennial and we look forward to the Red Arrows’ impressive performances. "The Red Arrows’ participation in select airshows in Canada not only underscores the strength of our enduring relationship with the Royal Air Force but promises Canadians an incredible showcase of precision and flying skill. "With 2024 marking the Centennial of the RCAF, we invite all Canadians to join the festivities by participating in Centennial events and activities taking place across the country.”

Wing Commander Adam Collins, Officer Commanding of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, said:

“The Red Arrows are excited, and honoured, to return to Canada to help celebrate the centennial of the Royal Canadian Air Force. “The visit will highlight the strength of the long and enduring partnership between the United Kingdom’s military and Canada’s Armed Forces. We’re looking forward to the prospect of meeting countless people, performing our new Diamond Season display and creating many memories and great moments at airshows and events.”

Previous tours, which have included China, Greece, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Pakistan and Bahrain, have led to the UK gaining as much as ten times as much in sales and investments as the tour cost.

Middle East Tour 2022

The Red Arrows Rollbacks

The Red Arrows toured the Middle East and Egypt, in the autumn of 2022.

The normal display by nine jets had been reduced to displays involving just 6 jets for this tour. There were only seven for the 2022 season anyway, following the departure of some members during pre-season training, and at the end of the UK 2022 season Flt. Lt. James Turner (Red 7) had to move from flying to PR duties for the duration of the tour because of a neck injury.

Unusually for an international tour, the routes and display dates were not announced in advance. The tour lasted about five weeks and the team display at the Bahrain International Airshow (9th to 11th November). The tour was also scheduled to include Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

The information comes from, and is credited to, the Red Arrows web site and their social media accounts, especially a Tweet on 28th October by @RAFRed7.

Red Arrows: relocation to RAF Waddington

Red Arrows at Dunsfold 2019

The Red Arrows at Dunsfold in 2019

Back in July 2018, it was announced that RAF Scampton would close and that the Red Arrows would be based elsewhere.

Over 30 alternative bases were considered and assessments made. The long list of 30 was reduced to a shortlist of three and on 19th May it was announced that, following an Operational Safety Assessment, RAF Waddington was considered the "only viable alternative" to RAF Scampton and had been selected as the future base of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows.

The information comes from, and is credited to, The Ministry of Defence and the Red Arrows .

Following an assessment of the cost the options, the decision was sealed and the team relocated in October 2022.

The link between RAF Scampton and the Red Arrows will be maintained, however, as the airspace over RAF Scampton will be retained for the team’s training and display practice.

As we saw during the recent VE Day celebrations, the Red Arrows have a proud and prominent place in British culture and have long demonstrated the best of what the UK Armed Forces offer with their world-renowned skills, discipline and teamwork. It is good news that we have an excellent base for them at RAF Waddington, and I am delighted that they will be able to continue to practice their extraordinary aerobatic talents above RAF Scampton in their home county of Lincolnshire.
I am delighted that we now have confirmation that the Royal Air Force Aerobatics Team - The Red Arrows - will remain in the heart of Lincolnshire. The Royal Air Force remains committed to the strong links it has with the county and a considerable amount of work has been carried out to secure a suitable future home location. The Red Arrows are a highly skilled and professional team showcasing the very best of the British precision and leadership for industry on a global scale, and inspiring next generation interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics through an air and space power lens. The announcement of this move will provide much needed stability for their future endeavours.

2019 Tour of USA & Canada

The Red Arrows with the Thunderbirds

The Red Arrows toured the USA and Canada in 2019

The Red Arrows are back in the UK after their extremely successful tour of the USA and Canada, displaying to enthusiastic crowds wherever they have been.

Their route to America took them on a 2,658-nautical mile journey across the North Atlantic, flying at 31,000 feet in two loose 6-aircraft formations. They left RAF Scampton on August 5th and, travelling at 0.7 mach, flew via Lossiemouth, Scotland, arriving in Keflavik, Iceland later on the same day after a flight of 1hr 45 mins. On 6th August they flew via Narsarsuaq, Greenland (1 hr 55 min) to Goose Bay (1 hr 50 min) and completed their journey to Halifax on 7th.

The team left with 12 red Hawks, supported by several aircraft including an RAF A400M Atlas from LXX Squadron and Voyager transport aircraft from 10 Squadron and 101 Squadron with personnel and cargo. The Atlas A400M RAF transport aircraft remained their support aircraft during the tour.

The deployment, called ‘Western Hawk 19’ was the first time the Red Arrows had visited America since 2008 and their first major North American tour for 26 years. The tour took the team to more than 25 cities over 11 weeks, with a combination of displays, flypasts and ground events helping to support a range of UK interests across business, trade, defence and education.

Minister for the Armed Forces, Mark Lancaster, said:

The Red Arrows are an international symbol of Britain and this landmark event will generate a significant amount of investment. It is only right that, after more than a decade away, they return to the home of our closest defence ally.

When the further locations were announced at the Royal International Air Tattoo on 19th July, Mark Lancaster said:

Sending our world-famous RAF Red Arrows demonstrates the UK’s global ambitions and will provide a unique opportunity to strengthen our partnerships with two of our closest allies.”

Previous tours, which include China, Greece, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Pakistan and Bahrain, have led to the UK gaining as much as ten times as much in sales and investments as the tour cost.

The Red Arrows displayed at several US air shows and areas with strong UK links. With stops across the continent, the tour comprised a combination of more than 20 aerobatic displays, several flypasts and 98 separate ground engagement activities, from business receptions to sessions aimed at inspiring young people.

Before they left the UK, Wing Commander Andrew Keith, Officer Commanding, Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, said:

One of the key roles of the Red Arrows is to support UK interests overseas and this major tour to North America will provide an important opportunity to both showcase the best of British and highlight the strong relationships we have with the US and Canada. The deployment will build on the recent successful Red Arrows tours to China, the Far East and Gulf regions.

In July he added:

Tours by the Red Arrows have always been an important role of the team – aiming to demonstrate RAF expertise, helping to highlight UK excellence across a range of sectors and celebrating close connections with friends and allies.

Middle East Tour

Red Arrows

The Red Arrows are touring the Middle East

The Red Arrows left the UK on 14th September 2017 on 'Exercise Eastern Hawk': a tour of the Middle East lasting nearly five weeks, returning on October 14th.

When in Kuwait earlier in the year, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon announced that the Red Arrows would display in that country as part of a wider regional tour, with a programme that will promote the United Kingdom’s long-standing relations across the Gulf.

"This historic Red Arrows tour will be a visible demonstration of UK engagement across the globe, flying the flag to promote Britain in important capitals through the GREAT campaign. Kuwait is a vital partner. I will be looking to strengthen our military relationship with more frequent joint exercises ..."

One of the most spectacular elements of the tour was on Saturday September 23rd, when the Red Arrows were given the freedom of the airspace over Jordan and below 3,000ft for an hour. During that time they flew the length of Jordan, completing a series of flypasts over the Dead Sea and some of the country’s historic landmarks, including the famous carved temples of Petra, watched by some of the Jordanian royal family as well as tourists. The following day they moved on to Saudi Arabia where they displayed over Jeddah on Monday 25th.

Their last full display was on Sunday 8th October in Bahrain, over Karbabad Beach but there were later flypasts over Saudi Arabia and Athens (and Lincoln City football ground) en route back to their Scampton home, which they reached on 14th October.

The team visited 11 nations including Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Pakistan and Bahrain.

The information comes from a press release issued by the UK Ministry of Defence (click the blue text to see the full press release) and the Twitter feeds of the Red Arrows, their individual pilots and technicians.

There is also a summary on the Red Arrows web site , published after their final display.

The government says that, at a time when the UK is negotiating a new, deep and special partnership with the European Union, it is continuing to look outwards globally. One of the purposes of the tour was to highlight the partnership with the British Armed Forces in each nation visited, as well as demonstrating that the UK is ‘open for business’, committed to peace and security, and a leading player on the global stage.

The Ministry of Defence said that the Red Arrows tour allowed for further close cooperation with Kuwaiti and regional armed forces and promote opportunities for investment and trade with the UK, encourage government-to-government engagement to develop economic partnership, and showcase the excellence of STEM education with UK universities.

China & Asia Tour

Red Arrows

The Red Arrows toured Asia in 2016

The Red Arrows left the UK on 29th September 2016 to perform displays or flypasts in 12 countries from the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific. They returned after covering 19,772 miles through 18 countries.

The Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, announced back in July that the RAF’s display team will perform their world-famous aerobatics with displays and flypasts for the first time ever in China, and to perform in other countries including India, Malaysia and Singapore.

There is information about the tours on the Red Arrows web site and on Twitter using #RedArrowsTour.

The total trip was 19,772 miles through 18 countries with 41 refuel stops.

The tour followed an invitation for the Royal Air Force aerobatic team to perform at the Zhuhai Airshow as part of the UK’s GREAT campaign. At Zhuhai the Red Arrows performed 9 displays in 6 days.

The Strategic Defence and Security Review made clear the UK’s commitment to the Asia Pacific region and to building relationships to "address global challenges". Following visits to Japan in January and Singapore in May, Mr Fallon confirmed that RAF Typhoon jets will take part in the joint exercise Bersama Lima from Malaysia, which forms part of the UK’s commitment to the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA).

In July, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said:

“Our RAF Red Arrows and Typhoons represent the best of British. The Red Arrows will fly the flag for Britain in key export markets while our RAF Typhoons will exercise with our allies.”

The general details in this article are taken from two government press releases and the Red Arrows web site. The Press release on the Red Arrows tour is here and the Government's release on the Typhoon tour is here .

The updates to the timetable are taken from the Twitter accounts of various Red Arrows pilots and engineers and from the British Embassies and Consulates in the respective countries.

The Five Power Defence Arrangements are a series of defence relationships established by multi-lateral agreements between the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore signed in 1971, whereby the five powers are to consult each other ’immediately” in the event or threat of an armed attack on Malaysia or Singapore for the purpose of deciding what measures should be taken jointly or separately in response.

The Five Powers Defence Arrangements do not refer to exclusive economic zones and the enforcement of a state’s EEZ rights is a matter for that state; a state may request the assistance of other states in so doing.

The Typhoon was able to flypast in Kuala Lumpur on 14th October, even though the Red Arrows were weather-bound and could not get there. Typhoons then landed in Japan for joint exercises.

Exercise Bersama Lima is a Five Power Defence Arrangements exercise held in the South China Sea, Malaysia and Singapore. The aim of the exercise: to enhance interoperability and strengthen the professional relationships of FPDA nations by conducting maritime, land and air operations in a simulated multi-threat environment.

What are the Red Arrows?

The Red Arrows are the aerobatic display team of the RAF – officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team.

Formed in 1964, their flypasts have become must-see events , and the displays often grace major national commemorations.

Made up of nine red jets, they amaze crowds with their thrilling manoeuvres and perfect formation flying, often accompanied with red, white and blue smoke trailing behind them.

They are currently based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, but will be relocated to RAF Waddington, in the same county, later this year.

Full Red Arrows schedule for 2022 - where you can see the jets and when

There are plenty of chances to see the team in action this year

red arrows tour dates 2022

As well as picnics, street parties, concerts and parades, the Platinum Jubilee weekend was marked in Wiltshire by a flypast of the world famous Red Arrows RAF aerobatic team. The top gun pilots have all clocked up at least 1,500 flight hours, completed one tour of combat duty, achieved the rank of flight lieutenant and been assessed as above average in flying skill.

The Red Arrows have been delighting visitors to air shows and royal celebrations since 1965, with its rotating cast of flyers racking up almost 5,000 performances worldwide. They streaked over Wiltshire just before 2.30pm on Saturday, June 4 as part of their appearance at the English Riviera Airshow, dazzling crowds in Swindon and Trowbridge.

They were due to return the following day, but were prevented by low clouds. Some might have spotted them again as they took off on June 7, making their way north from Wiltshire to the Isle of Man for the TT Display.

The iconic red jets are not the only ace pilots recently travelling through Wiltshire skies. As the Red Arrows left for Douglas, three aircraft carrying the South Korea’s Black Eagles display team passed through our airspace.

The East Asian air aces were aboard the transport planes, alongside their eight disassembled Golden Eagle jets. These will be rebuilt in Britain for a tour of displays including Southport Airshow, Farnborough Airshow and the Royal International Air Tattoo.

It is rumoured that there will even be a joint flight with the Red Arrows, highlighting the longstanding friendship between Britain and the democratic Republic of Korea. If you missed the Red Arrows flypast last weekend, never fear.

The English Riviera Airshow: Return of the Red Arrows

You are here: Blog > The English Riviera Airshow: Return of the Red Arrows

The RAF Red Arrows will be turning the skies red, white and blue at the English Riviera Airshow.

The Airshow, which takes place on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 June, has today announced that the RAF Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will feature at this year’s event, which also coincides with an extended weekend of celebrations to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

Organised by Torbay Council, with support from the English Riviera BID Company, the Airshow returns after a three-year break and promises to be a visual spectacle.

red arrows tour dates 2022

After spending the Spring training in Greece and Cyprus, this will be amongst the public’s first opportunity to see the new RAF Red Arrows display for the 2022 season. Airshow fans will not only get to enjoy the speed and air acrobatics of the bright red jets, but witness three of the greatest aviation icons of the 20 th century; the Lancaster, Hurricane and Spitfire. Part of the astounding Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, these three WWII symbolic aircraft will grace the skies above the Bay.

This impressive feat of aviation engineering always goes down a treat with Airshow fans – and it’s no surprise. The Avro Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of World War II and there are only two of these aircraft remaining - of the 7,377 that were built. The Hawker Hurricane played a vital role in the Battle of Britain and there are only 12 airworthy Hurricanes left in the world. The iconic Supermarine Spitfire was critical in defeating Luftwaffe air attacks during the Battle of Britain. More Spitfires were built than any other British combat aircraft before or since World War II – 20,341 in total – and there are six of these legendary aircraft on the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Councillor Swithin Long, Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration, Tourism and Housing said: “We feel incredibly privileged to be welcoming the Reds back to the English Riviera Airshow once again, especially for the return of the airshow on such a special weekend – and after a three year break. We’re also very excited for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which is set to delight crowds over the weekend.”

Councillor Nicole Amil, Chair of the Airshow Working Party and Member Champion, Queens Platinum Jubilee said: “The extended bank holiday weekend to mark our Queens Platinum Jubilee promises to be an exciting and enjoyable time for both residents and visitors. There is a packed programme of events and I’m thrilled that we can confirm two of the most memorable air display teams.

“With our RAF allocation now confirmed, Airshow fans can now expect news of the civilian aircraft and display teams to be announced in the coming weeks and months.”

Returning after a three year hiatus, this year’s event will take place over four days. Kicking off the extended Platinum Jubilee celebrations for 2022 on Thursday 2 June will be the lighting of The Queen’s Jubilee Beacon at Corbyn Head at 9.45pm. As part of a series of over 1,500 beacons across the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories, the beacon will be lit by the Civic Mayor accompanied by a Piper. The beacons at Daddyhole, Shoalstone and Berry Head will also be lit by Coastwatch, Brixham Town Council and Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust.

On Friday 3 June, Music on The Meadows invites the community of Torbay to get together for a day on Torre Abbey Meadow s, with a full day of family entertainment. Expect family activities, pop-up theatre and acts remembering the many decades of Her Majesty The Queen’s reign. To complete the day The Bootleg Beatles will headline the main music stage. The original and best loved Beatles tribute band have performed over 4000 times since the 80s and are one of the best loved acts in the world.

The official Red Arrows 7-pilot lineup for 2022 after recent changes

Reds 8 and 9 will be vacant for most displays this year

red arrows tour dates 2022

  • Contact author Contact author

The updated Red Arrows pilot lineup for 2022 has been revealed after two pilots ‘moved to other RAF roles’, leaving Reds 8 and 9 vacant for the season.

The 58th Red Arrows season is officially underway, as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Display Team started their campaign with a remarkable role in the RAF flypast of Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at the start of June.

The Reds will set off on a 50+ date tour across the UK this summer, as well as appearing at various airshows and flypasts around the globe, but the team will have a slightly different look about it this year.

An initial 11-name pilot lineup was revealed late last year, but the Red Arrows website shows just nine names for the 2022 season. Reds 1-7 are covered in the latest list, but there is no Red 8 or 9.

This move was confirmed by the RAF in May , saying that the Red Arrows would perform mostly with seven aircraft rather than the regular nine for this display season – but other pilots were brought in for the Platinum Jubilee flypast events.

Flight Lieutenant Damo Green was due to fly Red 8 but stepped back from the role due to family circumstances, which prompted the return of Squadron Leader Jon Bond – who had initially retired from the Red Arrows last year after more than 15 years of RAF experience.

Three new pilots were announced in November last year ahead of the 2022 season: Flight Lieutenants Stuart Roberts and Patrick Kershaw, and Squadron Leader Graeme Muscat. They will fly Reds 2, 3 and 10 respectively.

The other unannounced change in the lineup was Squadron Leader Nick Critchell leaving his role as pilot of Red 5 for the 2022 season, with Flight Lieutenant David Simmonds – who was due to fly Red 9 – moving to Red 5 in his place.

The new lineup is:

  • Officer Commanding – Wing Commander David Montenegro
  • Red 1 (Team Leader) – Squadron Leader Tom Bould
  • Red 2 – Flight Lieutenant Stuart Roberts
  • Red 3 – Flight Lieutenant Patrick Kershaw
  • Red 4 – Squadron Leader Jon Bond
  • Red 5 – Flight Lieutenant David Simmonds
  • Red 6 (Synchro Leader) – Squadron Leader Gregor Ogston
  • Red 7 (Synchro Two) – Flight Lieutenant James Turner
  • Red 10 (Supervisor) – Graeme Muscat

In what was called “an important moment” in City of Lincoln Council’s history, councillors came together to pay tribute to over four decades of public service from the Labour Leader Ric Metcalfe, ahead of his retirement later this year.

At Full Council on Tuesday, February 27, the last item on the agenda was titled ‘Thanks to Outgoing Leader’, as Cllr Ric Metcalfe (Labour) calls time on his 42-year political career this year.

The Red Arrows (official name: Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team) are the official aerobatic team of the UK’s Royal Air Force. Traditionally flying nine BAE Hawk T.1As, they are considered to be one of the best aerobatic teams in the world. Former members of the Red Arrows have formed The Blades and  act as advisors to the Saudi Hawks .

AIRCRAFT FLOWN Folland Gnat T.1 (1964-1979) Hawk T.1A (1980-present)

LINKS Official website Official Facebook page

The Red Arrows were formed in 1964 as an amalgamation of the RAF’s many unofficial aerobatic teams. The colour red is said to be inspired by the Red Pelicans, the arrow symbol from the famed Black Arrows and the team’s aircraft, the Folland Gnat, from the Yellowjacks. The team initially flew seven aircraft from 1965, but the spare pilot flew an additional solo display when he was available to do so. The first public display of the Red Arrows was in France, with their debut UK display following at Biggin Hill one week later.

In 1968, the Red Arrows became a nine-ship team. The team undertook their first tour to North America in 1972. They then received their present fleet of Hawk T.1s in 1980. The team’s busiest season came in 1995-1996, when they followed their 1995 European season with a world tour through the winter, which lead straight into the 1996 European season. It was the largest tour ever undertaken by a military jet aerobatic team. The frequency of these tours has increased in recent years, with a major tour occuring once every two to three seasons, with a Far East tour in 2016, visits to North America in 2019 and 2024, and various trips to the Middle East over the same time period.

A run of back luck in late 2011 and early 2012 saw two pilots killed in fatal accidents and one more resigning from the squadron. The team reduced to a 7-ship formation for the 2012 season.

The Red Arrows have been based at several locations around the UK, initially being formed at RAF Kemble (now Cotswolds Airport). Their longest-standing base was RAF Scampton, which they left September 2022 due to the base’s closure. The team moved to nearby RAF Waddington, but will continue to use Scampton’s airspace for display practices for the time being.

The team suffered a major setback in 2022, when they were hit with multiple allegations of sexual misconduct by various team members, including display pilots and the Officer Commanding. Two pilots were removed from their post (one at very short notice, just two weeks before the start of the display season) and another resigned from the squadron on principle. One former Red Arrows pilot was brought back to the team, and the Red Arrows flew a simplified, hastily-choreographed 7-ship routine that year, further reduced to a six-ship at the end of the season due to pilot injury. Limited training capacity meant that, in 2023, the team was still flying a reduced 8-ship formation. They will return to a 9-ship team in 2024.

They continue to fly the Hawk T.1, which has been retired throughout the rest of the RAF. In recent seasons, especially 2022, the jets have started to show their age, and many displays have been flown with one or more aircraft missing. With no easy replacement, the Red Arrows are officially due continue to fly the Hawk T.1 until 2030.

The Red Arrows’ display changes slightly each year, but is split into two halves, the first featuring nine-ship formation aerobatics. Many of these formations reflect historical anniversaries or topical events that year, for example Spitfire, Lancaster, Apollo and Concorde. The team’s signature formations are Big Battle and Short Diamond.

The aircraft then break into smaller groups for the second part of the show, which includes more dynamic manoeuvring by smaller groups of aircraft.

In the 1980s and 90s, this part of the display mainly included alternating seven-ship and two-ship manoeuvres, the latter being performed by Reds 6 and 7, the Synchro Pair. More recently, the manoeuvres have alternated between five-ship manoeuvres by Reds 1-5 and more complex two- or four-ship manoeuvres by Reds 6-9.

Reds 1-5 are known as Enid, mainly performing formation manoeuvres and bomb bursts, with a minimum altitude of 300ft. Reds 6-9 are currently known as Hanna (formally Gypo; both names pay tribute to former Red Arrows pilots). Hanna performs more complex formation manoeuvres as low as 300ft and dynamic opposition passes as low as 100ft. Once or twice in each display, Reds 8 and 9 join Enid for seven-ship manoeuvres.

The Red Arrows’ full show requires a 5,500ft cloud base. If the cloud base is lower than 5,500ft, but higher than 2,500ft, the team fly their “rolling show”, with looping manoeuvres removed or replaced by flatter ones. If the cloud base is lower than 2,500ft but higher than 1,000ft, they can fly the even more limited “flat show”, in which formation barrel rolls are also removed or replaced. The team can switch between types of display mid-show to respond to changes in the conditions. Due to the frequent low cloud base in the UK, the Red Arrows have one of the most complete and entertaining flat shows of any jet aerobatic team.

Coloured smoke is used throughout the display. All aircraft can generate five minutes of white smoke and one minute each of red and blue smoke. Smoke oil is carried in an external centreline smoke pod under the fuselage.

The exact display routine varies slightly each year, but is built from a collection of familiar manoeuvres which can be arranged in various combinations. Favourite manoeuvres include:

  • Big Battle Arrival (crowd rear arrival in Big Battle formation, loop and change to Short Diamond)
  • Wall Arrival (crowd-rear arrival in Wall formation, loop and change to Nine Arrow)
  • Phoenix Bend (tight turn in Phoenix)
  • Diamond Roll (barrel roll in Short Diamond, with all nine jets emitting smoke)
  • Tornado (seven-ship turn from the left 45 to the right 45, while two aircraft barrel roll around)
  • Five-Four Split (nine-ship loop and split into a 5-ship formation and a four-ship formation; both formations exit the loop from opposite directions, crossing at show centre)
  • Detonator (five-ship bomb burst with white smoke, then four-ship opposition break underneath with coloured smoke)
  • Palm Split (seven-ship upwards bomb burst and simultaneous two-ship opposition break underneath)
  • Gypo Pass (two vs. two opposition pass and rolls)
  • Goose (five vs. one opposition pass)
  • Double Goose (two vs. seven opposition pass)
  • Calypso (two aircraft roll into Mirror formation, then roll into Calpyso formation, then both roll inverted, then both roll erect)
  • Revolution (five, seven or nine-ship twinkle rolls, either performed simultaniously or staggered in two sections)
  • Carosel (one vs. one opposition 360 degree turns)
  • Heart (three-ship heart and spear)
  • Rolling Heart (flatter two-ship heart, without the spear, possible to fly under low cloud)
  • Vortex (two aircraft barrel roll around a third, before an opposition break)
  • Twizzles (five-ship pitch-up in Echelon, then break away at short intervals and perform staggered barrel rolls in Trail)
  • Vertical Break (five or seven-ship quarterclover and downwards bomb burst)
  • Infinity Break (five or seven aircraft approach in Battle; the leader pitches up to roll around both sides of the formation, followed by a bomb burst)
  • Slalom (five-ship 420-degree turn in Line Astern, changing to Reverse Battle formation, slalom changing to Battle formation)
  • Python (five-ship consecutive on-crowd and off-crowd barrel rolls in Leader’s Benefit formation)
  • Corkscrew (two aircraft fly past inverted and two more barrel roll tightly around)
  • Snake (five or seven aircraft arrive in Line Astern pull at short invervals into a loop in Trail)
  • Rollbacks (consecutive tight, simultanious rolls from the inside to the outside of a Battle formation)
  • Gypo Break (four-ship synchronised rolls, then a dynamic opposition break)
  • Boomerang (one vs. one opposition pass, followed by Split-S or Half Cuban repositions and a second opposition pass)
  • Twister (four-ship turn from the left 45 to the right 45 in Box, while one aircraft barrel rolls around)
  • Vice-Versa (one vs. one opposition half aileron rolls, in which one jet starts inverted and rolls erect, while the other starts erect and rolls inverted)
  • Vixen Break (seven-ship bomb burst, sometimes performed after a loop; usually the display finale)
  • Centenary Pass (2018 season only: three aircraft draw the number “100” in coloured smoke, while the remaining six perform a topside pass underneath in Delta)
  • Spaghetti break / Magnum break (nine-ship downwards bomb burst into the landing pattern; only performed when landing at airports where no crowd is present)
  • Typhoon break (conventional break into the landing pattern; aircraft pass along the runway in Big Battle and peel away at 2 second invervals to turn onto the downwind leg)
  • 26th March 1969: A pilot is killed when his jet hits trees during a practice display
  • 16th December 1969: Two pilots eject following a warning of a fire from air traffic control; both pilots survive, although the warning was intended only for one aircraft

Three new pilots have joined the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows,  for the 2022 Display Season. They begun their winter training in November at RAF Scampton and subject to Public Display Authority will be displaying in front of the public from early June 2022. As well as displaying around the UK, the Red Arrows will also be displaying at a number of events overseas.

Red 2 – Flt Lt Stuart Roberts

Flt Lt Stuart Roberts, 35, will fly as Red 2 for next year’s display season.

He said the constant drive for excellence demanded by the team inspired him to apply for the Red Arrows.

He said: “I vividly remember seeing the team display as a young boy but, as I have spent more time in the Royal Air Force and had more insight into how the Red Arrows operate, I was drawn towards applying by its clear, common goal and the high levels of teamwork required from everyone involved to generate a consistent, world-leading display.”

Flt Lt Roberts, who was born in Germany, at RAF Wegberg, was educated at The Henry Box School, Witney, before studying geography at Loughborough.

He joined the Service in 2009 and flew the Typhoon aircraft operationally, including undertaking NATO air policing duties in Estonia and helping to secure the skies of the UK and the Falkland Islands by conducting Quick Reaction Alert.

Red 3 – Flt Lt Patrick Kershaw

Huddersfield-born, he completed a degree in business administration at Leicester De Montfort University, where he was a member of East Midlands Universities’ Air Squadron, and in his final year received an RAF bursary – going on to join the Service in 2006.

He was selected to fly fast-jets and, following training, was posted to the Tornado GR4 at RAF Marham. During his time on the Tornado he took part in operations over North Africa and the Middle East as well as numerous multinational exercises.

More recently, Flt Lt Kershaw has flown the Typhoon aircraft from RAF Coninsgby.

The 36-year-old said he is proud to be joining the Red Arrows for 2022.

He said: “Innovation, precision, teamwork are all at the forefront of what we do in the team and these qualities are shared throughout numerous industries in the UK.

“Being able to represent this as an ambassador for the next three years will be a privilege and honour.”

Flt Lts Roberts and Kershaw are two of nine Red Arrows display pilots.

Red 10 – Squadron Leader Graeme Muscat

(From March 2022)

Sqn Ldr Muscat, who was born in Great Sutton, Cheshire, and educated at Whitby High School, Ellesmere Port, said: “The Red Arrows are the best of British. The fact I can now stand as an ‘ambassador’ not only for the United Kingdom but also for the Royal Air Force is amazing and one which will be the highlight of my career to date and one I’m extremely humbled and proud to be doing.”

The 46-year-old joined the Royal Air Force in 1995 as a Communications System Analyst and, in 1998, became Non-Commissioned Aircrew as an Air Signaller.

He was selected for a Commission and pilot training in 2003, starting Initial Officer Training a year later.

Sqn Ldr Muscat flew the Tornado GR4 on the frontline as well as in multinational exercises and, more recently, he has been a Flight Commander on the Hawk T2 at RAF Valley.

Details of where the Red Arrows will be displaying in 2022 will be released in the New Year.

The full pilot line-up for the next season is:

Red Arrows soar into 60th anniversary air show displays with special Diamond Season

The iconic Red Arrows are celebrating their 60th anniversary in 2024 with a special Diamond Season of aerial displays.

A new nine-aircraft show will mark the milestone season, featuring manoeuvres not seen for a generation in the Red Arrows' display routine, which changes every year.

And as a further part of their anniversary campaign, the Royal Air Force aerobatic team have unveiled special artwork that will be featured on each of the Hawk jets.

  • RAF scraps its strict no hand tattoo policy for potential recruits and serving personnel
  • Red Arrows paint skies red, white and blue in spectacular airshow over Devon
  • How the King learned to fly in a Chipmunk with a 'Royal warning light'
Today, we’re setting out plans for the #RedArrows ’ 60th Diamond Season including: 🔴 Unveiling special artwork on our Hawks ⚪️ Announcing a Canada tour for the @RCAF_ARC centennial 🔵 A new show to celebrate our heritage and inspire the future Read more: https://t.co/iQg3ENrTPb pic.twitter.com/YLyWubSERI — Red Arrows (@rafredarrows) February 9, 2024

The Red Arrows took off in 1964, blending previous RAF teams into one. Their first public show at Little Rissington in May 1965 kicked off their inaugural display season.

Since then, they've wowed audiences with nearly 5,000 performances in 57 countries.

From small country fairs to big air shows and even state occasions, they have left their mark on aviation history.

The anniversary artwork, adorning both sides of the fuselage and tail of the team’s aircraft, commemorates the Diamond Season with finesse.

Featuring the sleek outlines of two Red Arrows Hawk jets, the design elegantly trails patriotic colours, symbolising the team's proud heritage and remarkable journey.

"The logos are a subtle yet stylish nod towards the team’s heritage, but are also a reminder that our aim is very much to inspire for the future," said Squadron Leader Bond, the Red Arrows' Team Leader this season.

"For example, many of the events we’ll be part of this year will bring people together to encourage individuals to look at the importance of the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering and maths and the role they play in powering the work of the RAF."

The first public show of their 2024 campaign is expected to take place at the end of May.

UK and mainland European displays are expected to be staged in May, June, July, the first half of August and early October, with the dates to be released shortly.

A tour to Canada, named Maple Hawk, will not take place until the second half of August and follows an invitation made by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

 "The Red Arrows are excited and honoured to return to Canada in 2024 to help celebrate the centennial of the Royal Canadian Air Force," said Wing Commander Adam Collins, the Officer Commanding of the aerobatic team.

Steeple returns to Huffman Baptist Church after being damaged in 2022 storms

The historic church has had a steeple since 1972.

New steeple being installed at Huffman Baptist Church.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ( WBRC ) - The steeple at Huffman Baptist Church has now been repaired and is being placed back at the top of the church. The church suffered major damage to its steeple from spring storms two years ago. To repair it, the church’s lead pastor Dr. Rob Paul says they reached out to the company that made it, Campbellsville Industries.

The process began in August of 2023, with the crews removing the steeple from the top of the church and taking it back to the company’s headquarters in Campbellsville, Kentucky. Lee says the steeple is recognized by most people in the neighborhood, as it has been there for more than fifty years.

“The day they brought the steeple down, we had somebody in the neighborhood contact us and ask if we were going to put the steeple back up,” Paul said. “They were really concerned that we were going to take the steeple down and not replace it.”

Paul says the company was one of only two in the country that repair those kinds of steeples.

Red Clay Strays Announce 2024 Tour Dates

Announcing a tour with already sold-out dates has to be an unreal feeling.

The Moblie, Alabama boys that make up the Red Clay Strays are not slowing down anytime soon with their announcement of 2024 tour dates. Right off the heels of their Way Too Long Tour,  which has since been extended to a few dates this month, they take what feels like no pause before undergoing their following string of tour dates.

Kicking off in March, the boys are back on the road for solo shows, festival appearances, and shows supporting Whiskey Myers and the Turnpike Troubadours. They will also perform a highly anticipated three-night run of sold-out shows at the Ryman Auditorium .

“It’s gonna be a big year, y’all! We’ve got a lot of great festivals coming up, mixed with a few of our own shows, and we’re grateful to be going out with Whiskey Myers and Turnpike Troubadours for a few dates, too. Tickets for our shows on the 2024 Tour go on sale Friday at 10 AM.

Hit the link in the bio to sign up now to get the code for the pre-sale on Wednesday at 10 AM.”

With dates across the nation through August still available, if the sale for these dates goes anything like the Ryman tickets, they will sell out faster than you can input your credit card information.

Near the end of 2023, the group also announced that they were working on an album with legendary producer Dave Cobb, so fans hope to get new music from them this year. Just as Muscadine Bloodline recently posted, Alabama artists are stepping out in a big way, and the Red Clay Strays are a band that you need to listen to and watch.

If you are reading this and haven’t jumped on the Red Clay Strays train yet, get to listening. We are all “Wondering Why” you haven’t started yet.
