The History of the Red Arrows

The History of the Red Arrows

 

Red Arrows pilots are amongst the most highly-qualified and experienced within the
Royal Air Force. 

During the display season the Red Arrows perform between

75-85 air displays and more than 100 fly-pasts.

 

Each pilot is hand-picked and only a very few will be given the privilege of
representing the RAF both in the UK and abroad.

 
Their Hawk aircraft are essentially the same as those used by the

Advanced Flying Training students at Royal Air Force Valley,

with the exception of smoke generators and a slightly uprated engine.

 

Let me share some of their history with you.
