Representing the United Kingdom at home and overseas, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team completes its 55th season in 2019. This latest campaign for the Red Arrows features the largest tour to North America in a generation – supporting British interests across areas such as defence, business and education. Since 1965, the team has carried out more than 4,900 displays in 57 countries, acting as global ambassadors for the UK. These performances are the result of detailed preparation, both in the air and on the ground, by highly-trained, skilled individuals. Each shares the same motivation – a pursuit of excellence. The Red Arrows consists of 11 pilots, nine of whom form the display team and with each having previous fast-jet operational experience flying the Tornado, Typhoon or Harrier, enabling the Royal Air Force to secure the nation’s skies. Known as the Blues because of the colour of their display coveralls, the team’s support staff numbers 110 people, including dedicated engineers, drivers, suppliers, public relations experts and other personnel. Based at Royal Air Force Scampton in Lincolnshire, the Red Arrows fly the BAE Systems Hawk T1 and are famous for their trademark Diamond Nine formation.
