They're all veteran pilots, a lot of RAF and Naval Veterans do displays when they retire from the forces. Some of the lucky few get to fly our old girls, such as the Spitfires, AVRO Lancaster and Sally B. I think, you have to clock up a certain amount of flight hours to fly the 75 Hear old planes.
I'd love to see the Thunderbirds in the UK when everything is back to more like normality. They have more of a handful with those front fighter aircraft. Respect to our allies in the USA and happy christmas from the UK!
@Poggers guy that's true , I mean the red arrows Hawk T1 is a training plane , it's light and very nimble but less than half the size of a super hornet , still impressive though.
@@adamgriffin8197 I wasn't suggesting they were better just that with both the Red Arrows and Thunderbirds being air force and also flying single tail single engine jets they look better together.
I like the red arrows I am a Art for the UK My draw is out of this world 🌎🌎 They are my best friend even The best men work for the red arrows are the best in the world 🌎🌎🌎🌎
Just cant help but think wow, ya know the American aircraft is glorious, but for impressive aerial acrobatics the jet the British use is better for the task?
@@jamesgladney exactly because the thunderbirds are literally less than 45cm from each other during high speed maneuvers (up to 1,500 mph) whereas the red arrows are between 30-45 meters (3,000 - 4,500 cm) at speeds up to 645 mph. Absolutely a crushing difference between both of them.
@@larimejohnsonThe reds planes are built for Aerobatics….which is the entire point of their job. So why not use the planes that are best for the job? Btw, all the Arrows Pilots are retired or serving RAF fighter pilots.
What do you think of those New York City views?
Watch more on My5: www.my5.tv/
Wish I was there....
Hi channel 5
These guys make me so proud to be British.
Agreed
Agreed
I've got goose bumps. 🇬🇧
Same with me and the blue angels and thunder birds
Rule Brittania from Scotland
How cool is that seeing our brothers and sisters all flying together ❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sisters? 😅
I grew up idolising the Red Arrows. Long may they continue
Coincidentally, the tv show Thunderbirds actually did an episode based on the Red Arrows.
Well it is a British show, so why not
@@glastonbury4304 it was made into a American film wasn’t it?
@@oceanfive5 ...yes, but still British , like Joe 90, Captain Scarlet, Stingray...👍
I saw these guys at the New York air show. It was great
Red Arrows are a bunch of highly-trained cool blokes.

@@kayleighbrown965The Red Arrow pilots are active serving RAF personnel.
So amazing and breathtaking. Great alies. Thank you. USAF Retired
America and The United Kingdom, side by side always and forever
Always
Hooorah
Love the reds
Red Arrows are sensational. Much respect from this Yankee.
Amazing sight to see 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Manhattan island what a glorious beacon for all humanity. That’s my boy! Show em!
Absolutely breathtaking. Weldone all.
Why do I cry every time I watch the red arrows🙈
Yoooo seeing them all together! major goosebumpage!
I remember years ago seeing them and putting on an evening reception after one crashed in Lyme Bay
Do you reckon the lucky pilot of Red 5 ever gets sick of saying "Red 5, standing by!". I wouldn't!
I'm an American, and even I think the Red Arrows have a way better show then the Blue Angels.
I'd love to see the Thunderbirds in the UK when everything is back to more like normality. They have more of a handful with those front fighter aircraft. Respect to our allies in the USA and happy christmas from the UK!
I 100% agree
How so? Genuinely curious, what makes the red arrows the better show?
@@MostlyPennyCat They both are insanely skilled but I think the Red Arrows' stunts look more visually pleasing.
@Poggers guy that's true , I mean the red arrows Hawk T1 is a training plane , it's light and very nimble but less than half the size of a super hornet , still impressive though.
Great I love the red arrows! So much guys great.
🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
The Thunderbirds and Red Arrows go way better together than the Blue Angels!
Tsu 800 really I always preferred the blue angles over the thunder birds
@@adamgriffin8197 I wasn't suggesting they were better just that with both the Red Arrows and Thunderbirds being air force and also flying single tail single engine jets they look better together.
What if the thunder birds, blue angels, red arrows, and snow birds all flew together in formation
@@tsu8003 I prefer both.
@@Aviation_hub-kr7hw Should be called "Defenders of Liberty Airshow"
I hope they make this on DVD/Blu Ray too
🇺🇸✈️🇬🇧
From the looks of it the redarrows will be going back to America and Canada again next year for another tour during August and September.
I like the red arrows I am a Art for the UK
My draw is out of this world 🌎🌎
They are my best friend even
The best men work for the red arrows are the best in the world 🌎🌎🌎🌎
I can remember when they landed at my airport and the pilots were in the restaurant and asked my sister if she had 5 pound coins for a £5 note.
Was that for the parking meter? 😂
red arrows are the best in the world
The thunderbirds and blue angels are my favorite
You what
Just cant help but think wow, ya know the American aircraft is glorious, but for impressive aerial acrobatics the jet the British use is better for the task?
How did a bunch of Hawk T1's get from Wales to NY?
Well.. They flew. Along with the Atlas A400M support aircraft. Strange question..
I hope you're not breeding!!
You're talking about machines that can fly.... You do realise that, right?
@@aiosquadron with 800nm of range..
@@TacticalSandals Uhh... Idk then. Maybe tankers?
Nice touch putting the Dutch flag over former Dutch territory (red/white/blue) Nieuw Amsterdam...
No no, the red, white, and blue smoke symbolize the colors of Great Britain
🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Is it real
U & Me both
Red arrows demolish the blue angels no joke
What abt the thunderbirds?
You cant compare them because they do completely different things
Rule Britannia. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
No offence to the Thunderbirds but the Red Arrows leave them for dust! ha ha
No offense but you're right the Red Arrows are basically crop dusters whereas the Thunderbirds are real war planes 🤷🏿♂️
No offence but the Thunderbirds/Blue Angels don't need many aircraft to perform neatly..
@@jamesgladney exactly because the thunderbirds are literally less than 45cm from each other during high speed maneuvers (up to 1,500 mph) whereas the red arrows are between 30-45 meters (3,000 - 4,500 cm) at speeds up to 645 mph. Absolutely a crushing difference between both of them.
