Farnborough 08: The Reds

[C]

[quote]I've seen the post of the reds over NY and so I now wonder (haven't thought about this at all yet): how do you get the yets over to the states? Fly by themself - must be a great opportunity for commercials spotting them flying formation (?) - or are they shipped (would be embarrassing), aircraftcarrier (too expensive),...

seriously, can someone tell me?!

Which air force are they from?

There is a good reason for that. I was down at RAF Scampton in February talking to a few of the people who work with the Red Arrows. Apparently not that many people do know that the Red Arrows are the Royal Air Force...

So the new paint actually states it, to stop all the annoying questions for the guys there  ;D

Too bad the weather was bad on that day though... We nearly got a private demonstration of the 2008 display before the world had seen it (Though we could see them making love hearts all the way from Waddington, so that was nice  ;) )


Lovely shots. Certainly the finest team in the world and shown off brilliantly there  :)
