Who has seen the Red Arrows in action? I'd be blown away if I saw them here in the US, let alone over New York! Perhaps they will fly over here in California one of these days? Love it! Fantastic pilots! 🛩
I don't have to go anywhere, they fly over my house all the time! Their base is to the north-east of me so whenever they're going to show off in the southern half of the country or Wales, they fly over en route. I did see them do a display back in 2008 - I went to a small party in the Mall when the city of Beijing handed the Olympic flag over to London. When I say "small" I mean there were about 25,000 people, maybe more, outside Buckingham Palace watching big screens showing the Beijing closing ceremony, followed by a live concert and the Red Arrows swooped down the Mall and over the Palace. Whoosh!
The last tour they did of the US and Canada was in 2019, which this clip was part of. The last show of that tour was at Huntington Beach CA. The tour before that was, I think, about 2008.
Yes seen them once or twice here in London where I live. Oh and check this out if you get chance. The last British VSTOL aircraft | Harrier Jump Jet GR9
It is refreshing that you provide a full screen with yourself in a smaller box. Too many RUclipsrs use a small screen and they dominate the larger screen.
I have seen the Red Arrows countless times. They often perform at airshows and large county fairs. They also perform over the coast - my favourite was watching them at Whitby whilst standing on the cliffs by the sea near the Abbey (where Dracula supposidly went) - they are spectacular.
Brilliant video.I live in Lincoln uk and the red arrows are based at RAF Scampton,so we see them practicing above our city all through the summer.when I was 11 we went to an air show and when they came in to land.I got took over to the red arrows number 5 by the pilot who new my dad and he let me sit in the cockpit.great times
50 yrs ago...was daft enough to fall madly in love with an RAF pilot !! We married despite the fact I HATE FLYING...always have and always will. So year in and out visit a Red Arrows display !!! Whilst I am in awe of the skill and precision and sheer guts of these guys ...can never watch more than a minute of a display ! I can watch on line with a very large G&T on hand ...so very proud of these guys !
Seen the Red Arrows more than I can count, sat on the wing and in the cockpit as a child when they used to fly Gnats. The Reds are who all other display teams aspire to, looking forward to seeing them again at RIAT 😊
Quite amused that you, an American, have never been to New York, and I, an Englishman, spent a week there a few years ago (Nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there!)
I have seen them quite a few times. At my old work place, high on a hill you could see the display they did for the Fairford Airshow and it was amazing. You could see all sorts of planes over the course of the weekend but the red arrows were always the best. They sometimes fly over where I live after doing a display too.
I see them every year for the Bournemouth Air festival, the Red Arrows and the Typhoon are the daily highlights of the show which usually runs for 4 days. Seeing them fly from standing on the beach with my kids is awesome .
Seen the red arrows many times both at airshows & when they fly over my house to one of the local airports they use for a nearby show. Always a wonderful sight.
I live 30 miles away from RAF Waddington the home of the red arrows since 2000. They occasionally fly over. To see them flying in such close formation is always an amazing site
They come to Jersey, Brtish Channel Islands, every year but they trick us when they arrive, you never know which direction they come from however I have seen them twice in the same day. Guernsey our sister island gets them first and i was travelling from Gatwick to Jersey which goes over Guernsey and our BA Pilot did a loop over Guernsey until they finished so we all saw it all from above. How cool is that. Then saw them later in the day in Jersey,
I live in Hastings and the Eastbourne air show usually has the red arrows do a fly by for the event. Due to the distance required for the planes to turn around if you stand on the pier you can see them all pass by and get some fantastic pictures with next to no crowds. Great display of talent all round.
What an amazing experience that must be! I can only imagine the views you see with not many people around, a huge bonus to be away from the crowds and take it all in.
Good to see the Red Arrows over New York ..I live close to their base in Lincolnshire, England ...I watch them practice most days from my living room window ....how lucky I am !! 😃
me me me, it's always a pleasure to see the Red Arrows, thank you. They and their for-runners the Black Arrows (flying Hunter jets) set the world standard back in the 1950's and 60's. The close passes are really scary to see live... I've seen them at RAF Biggin Hill, the most famous Battle of Britain fighter station, at Monte Carlo and at Fowey (pronounced Foy like toy). At Fowey was the most impressive as they flew inside the harbour at near mast head height. Standing on the overlooking cliffs we where looking down on the planes ! It was a full 10 minutes before any seagull dared fly after that ... Later that day the pilots came to Fowey to see the regatta and carnival. I wasn't able to speak with them as they were surrounded by admiring women.
This old man has seen a few display teams, as he went to airshows a lot as a boy and teen, so: Red Arrows (in Folland Gnats, and BAE Hawks), the Patrouille de France (in Fouga Magisters and Alpha Jets), the Frecce Tricolori (in FIAT G.91PANs), the Belgian Air Force 'Slivers' (who then used F104 Starfighters) the Royal Navy 'Card Four' (in Hawker Seahawks), and the RAF Training Command's team 'the Red Pelicans' (using Hunting Jet Provosts). More recently a team from the middle East, from Jordan I believe, who were at a RNAS Yeovilton show.
That would be an experience! I actually looked for a schedule to see if they were around me any time soon. I've seen our version of the Blue Angels a few times and are always a blast. Would love to see the Red Arrows now :)
@@californianreacts our show is only small here. but its paid for by the city and its free, its on the beach with the planes doing their performance over the sea. its really nice
Red Arrows Headquarters at RAF Scampton until recently. Scampton about 5 miles north of the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire. `Seen them flying around Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire countless times. They cut a graceful way against a blue Summer sky in their back yard.
I've been lucky enough to have travelled a lot of the world and US included. The thunderbirds are an amazing experience and whilst my heart is with the red arrows there's real no distinction between the two. Bot are amazing
Having been lucky enough to watch all three teams' displays. The Blue Angels (6 F18s) and Thunderbirds (6F16) due to being smaller and using frontline aeroplanes have very different displays from the Reds (9 Hawks) who are flying an advanced trainer. The Blues and the Thunderbirds have a much louder and faster display with some amazing close formations and passes, while the Red's display is more about numerous seamless formations changes involving all 9 aircraft while performing aerobatic moves until the synchro pair break off and for their spectacular mini-show before reforming back with the rest of the team for the final section of the display. I really enjoy the noise and drama of the US display teams, but (I'm a Brit and biased ) I do think the Reds display offers a more engaging show for normal people who don't turn into a giddy five-year-old boy when a formation of loud fast aeroplanes I don't often see at home start showing off!
That's incredible! I would very much like to watch the differences between all of the displays from these teams. I've only seen The Blue Angels before and they were spectacular. Can't imagine the others!
I am lucky to have seen each of those teams, and the Blue Angels, they do fly differently, but expertly. So good to compare. Also, saw The Intrepid (on the Hudson) below that flypast, and that really is worth the visit if in New York, beats shopping any day.
In some video or other I learned that UK Special Forces personnel are free to hitch a ride on any US military vehicle - just as US Special Forces personnel are free to hitch a ride on any of our military vehicles. I think that this is rather indicative of a friendship between the two nations. It is a relationship which I like - notwithstanding in other arenas the US will have its Spies over here just as we will have our Spies over there.
It's cool that the red white & blue has just as must relevance to the US as the UK. Luckily enough get to see these twice a year over our house in Clacton, UK. They perform Thursday & Friday every August bank holiday weekend. The pair that split off do a circle that crosses over ours and they are very low when doing so.
We watched the 3 part series on the NA tour. I think we have the DVD now. I do recall they got stuck in ?Newfoundland or somewhere on the way back due to the weather over the Atlantic. They couldn't set off back on that last leg as it was too dangerous. Such a relief when they finally did so and got back home! We needed them back! It was lovely to see their families welcoming them as they disembarked back at Scampton, though.
I hate hearing people say who's better. Sorry who cares their both phenomenal and both are an absolute joy to watch. I'd love the typhoons to be put into red and converted
As good as our Red Arrow Pilots are, they , like all our armed services are not served well. You would have noticed the dire state of our Armed Forces. That's why the Red Arrows fly antique aircraft and need major full engineering back up everywhere they go. Flying to America, is a MAJOR problem believe it or not, because the aircraft are old fashion training aircraft have very short ranges and no GPS! That just shows the commitment of government. The RAF is having problems training pilots because of cutbacks, a once proud nation brought to its knees by its own government.
@@johnchristmas7522 Hawks can be used as front line aircraft especially in the ground attack role were they took over from the Jaguar, you are out of your depth claiming the Hawk is an antique when it is still produced and constantly upgraded and sold abroad, go back to your crayons and computer games.
The difference between the red arrows and American air display teams is the red arrows fly very old jets, with none of the modern, state-of-the-art computers on board, which balance the air craft etc which is how the American teams can get so close. The red arrow displays are flown with pure flying skills. Imagine what they could do given the given the same equipment.
Unfortunately your incorrect about several items, your initial pictur wasnt the Thunderbirds, and the Reds only serve 3 years and rhey have to move on. They havent been in post for years as you advise.
We have a similar group of excellent pilots to put on shows, the Blue Eagles which fly the Boeing FA-18 Super Hornet. I'm not sure how close it is to the Red Arrow planes used, but the same purpose.
Our red fly over Scampton the best piglets raf has but not just them it all the ground crew who just as important there skill like our usa brother and sisters what make it happen
The red arrows had better displays in the 80’s, the jets used to fly low over the crowds you could feel the heat from the engines and the ground shaking under your feet and the howling Vulcan always made an appearance. Those displays are long gone now. Shame
@@georgebarnes8163 The Red Arrows most certainly are funded from the UK Defence Budget. The amount of sponsorship money raised is very modest by comparison and, for example, the display team has around 135 full-time RAF personnel to run this unnecessary show. It will cost some £300m or more to replace the current old Hawk aircraft this decade and that most certainly would come from the defence budget - I hope the aircraft are not replaced, although a feasibility study is underway. The defence budget should go mostly on front line defence, not showing off.
Hmmmm. Not quite so wonderful at the moment... Caught up in scandals over bullying, poor behaviour and brawling. Not a good advert. I think they are only funded for the next couple of years and the Hawks they fly are aged.... It would be a good time to look to refresh the concept, maybe new name, new colours and aircraft.
Because of this bullying accusations at the RAF Cosford Air Show in 2022 they only flew seven of the aircraft instead of nine. Despite this they still did a very good display. I don't know what the outcome was of the pilots accusations though but the Reds are back to the nine aircraft formations again.
