Red Arrows

The Red Arrows, officially the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, was formed in 1964 and is based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, England. Flying nine red BAE Systems Hawk T1 jets, the team is famous for its tight nine-ship formations, precise opposition passes and red, white and blue smoke trails. It is one of the best-known aerobatic teams in the world and regularly performs around the globe as an ambassador for the United Kingdom.
