I can’t tell you how weird it was to see the RAF red arrows fly over my school on the west coast of America with no context. I literally could not believe my eyes and it happened in the one class I have outside
I used to go to Weymouth Beach on my birthday as a small child, the red arrows would do a fly past. My dad told me that he'd organised them especially to come and I totally believed it until I was older!
As a aircraft mechanic at Miramar, it was great seeing you guys at our airshow. I got an opportunity to speak to some of the red arrows maintainers after the airshow and they all seemed like great guys. I even got to see myself In this video😂
It was a total treat I can proudly say I’ve seen all 4 top display teams. I really never thought I would see the red arrows it was a dream come true. I’ll never forget it
Remember watching Red Arrows train out of RAF Valley as and 12 year old Canadian kid in 1972. My Father and 6 other fathers, members of the Canadian Armed Forces were posted to Ty Croes army Base. Our home was the Hive in Rhosneigr Anglesey for the 2 years my father worked on new missile technology with British Army. Our home was just above what then was the Bay Shore Hotel, just off the beach. From living room window we could look over at the RAF Valley airport. Was great to watch all the jets of the day coming and going. Surprised one morning to look down at the beach and see one of the Red arrow planes floating in the surf. If I remember correctly pilot bailed out and was ok. Great display team.

I loved jets since i was a little kid, when i was about 8-10 on my birthday we were all out in the garden playing and eating cake when the Red Arrows flew DIRECTLY overhead at a very low altitude, probably on their way to an air show. it was one of the coolest things to happen on one of my birthdays.
I've seen them training dozens of times, and it never gets old. Always fantastic to watch. Just like the song, Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines.
I saw the Red Arrows many times growing up, the best was in Broadstairs, Kent, when they gave everyone a heart attack by coming from behind really low over the cliffs of the promenade we were viewing from. Was brilliant, I've never forgotten it and never will. Amazing pilots and skills
What a absolutely magnificent red letter day it was at the CNE grounds flying amongst the CT-114 Tutors! Thanks everybody for coming out! Love you all! Greetings from Toronto!

UK is the new home now and have tremendous respect for the country and their professionalism and sporting attitude..the Red Arrows is my most fav and proud owner of Citizen Limited Edition Red Arrows watch and the model plane .they go wherever I am..aviation love!

its interesting that the US use supersonic fighter jets like f18s and f16s for the display teams, the UK uses Hawks because agility and quick bursts from 200-400 knotts is whats needed, maybe its just because people want to see the supersonic jets that do 1000+ knotts.....its interesting..

Brilliant...loved it thank you:)

I honestly don't think the Blue Angels can even compare, I've seen both and in my opinion the angels are a lot more boring than the arrows.
Propaganda Panda! the snowbirds
I think it might be because the Angels use larger jets. They’re not as nimble.
You're comparing apples and oranges. The jets they 2 teams use are designed and optimized for different tasks.
