- The world famous Red Arrows of the Royal Air Force perform three practice sorties with 6 aircraft at their home in Lincolnshire, RAF Waddington.
RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire is one of the RAF’s busiest Stations as the hub of UK Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) and the main operating base for airborne intelligence aircraft and systems. It is also home to the Royal Air Force Aerobatics Team (RAFAT) or more commonly known to us as "The Red Arrows". Celebrating their 60th season, the Red Arrows are now back to their famous Diamond 9.

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, is one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams. It is not unusual for the Red Arrows to practice with less than 9 aircraft. Some sequences do not require all 9 aircraft and you can see a singleton, 2, 4, 5, 6 or various numbers of Red Arrows practice. The Red Arrows are currently the only unit in the Royal Air Force to fly the Hawk T1.
Flying distinctive Hawk fast-jets, the team is made up of pilots, engineers and essential support staff with frontline, operational experience. Together, they demonstrate the excellence and capabilities of the Royal Air Force and the Service’s skilled, talented people.
Often with their trademark Diamond Nine shape, and combination of close formations and precision flying, the Red Arrows have been displaying since 1965. All Red Arrows display pilots have flown operationally, in frontline aircraft such as the advanced Typhoon, and helped the Royal Air Force to secure the skies every day of the year.
Red Arrows pilots are selected from currently serving RAF pilots who have completed at least 1,500 hours of flying and one operational tour. The selection process involves flying assessments, interviews, and peer assessments, with only three pilots being chosen each year
The Red Arrows are famous for their vibrant vapour trails - often known as the smoke. They are a crucial element of the team's displays, primarily for flight safety. The vapour trails allow Red 1 to judge wind speed and direction, and allow the aircraft to locate each other in the second half of the show when different sections of the formation are frequently several miles apart. The vivid and colourful smoke trails also enhance the visual impact of the display when viewed from the ground. Well known manoeuvres such as the heart, rollbacks and carousel would just not be the same without it.
The Red Arrows have two dedicated dye teams who ensure the aircraft's under-fuselage pods - from which the coloured dye is contained - are replenished. These engineers travel all over the country, working within tight timescales to ensure that when Red 1 makes the call it is "Smoke on, Go!" There is smoke for about 7 minutes; 5 minutes white smoke, 1 minute blue and 1 minute red.
Today, Waddington is one of the RAF’s busiest operational airfields and its squadrons and personnel are involved in supporting operations all around the world. Despite the demanding operational tempo, the Station continues to maintain a high profile and has delivered record-breaking Air Shows until 2014.

Best air display team ever, love the Red Arrows ❤
Oii oiii Anne
In 1986 or 1987 I was walking my dog in the fields behind my home in the east of the Netherlands when I heard airplanes comming. To my delight it were the Red Arrows coming back from an airshow just across the border with Germany. They flew really low in formation quite low and it was a sight I always will remember. It was unfortunately the only time I saw them in real life. Thanks for the beautiful capture.
Great memories, thanks for sharing.
I do enjoy watching pilots flying and showing their capabilities of flying these jets. These guys that fly in the group of Red Arrows are really good. Thanks for sharing Teddi and Niko's for your commentating for making it fun. 👍🥰😊
Oii Oii Alix 🤙🏼

Looked forward to it since the notification came on on discord! It doesn't disappoint. So proud of our RAF display team the Red Arrows. Privileged to have and too watch them. Blessed to get the finest footage that captures the whole party piece for us. Shows us why? These pilots do what they do so well, so accurately, each knowing their role perfectly. The timing of Comms are designed too help pilots. Like a 1, 2 , 3 go...
Makes alot of sense. Love the comms, makes the display come too life. Along with the camera work. Enjoyed this very much. Nice one TCS
Oii oiii Dan. It’s so cool with the comms and they do this at airshows so we thought we’d follow the trend. Ooohh yeah
Look forward to this one!
Brilliant stuff
Thanks Nikos and Ted, Claire Bear and spanner flight that was amazing
Oii oiii David you’re most welcome. Thank you
*Spectacular 🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️*
*Happy Weekend*
❤awesome job ted❤🎉
Thanks Sally
The Reds are brilliant,but give our American cousins their due the Blue Angels are pretty spectacular! Considering their size the F18 Super Hornets get very close during the displays.
Oiii oiiii man thank you so much.
Easily the best aerial display team in the world ❤
love your vids blogs i was in RAF for 17 yrs seen the Reds all over the world and been lucky to fly in the rear seat of a Hawk ( 63 Sdn and 151Sqn raf Chivenor ) and yes i had a go over the Brecon Beacons with two ex red arrow pilots but the 6 display is watering it down what about the diamond 9 and the concorde displays luv you all
Hi thanks for serving our country.
Hi Sir, yes they don’t always train with all 9. Some elements only require 4,5 or just the synchro pair sometimes. But they will put it all together for the diamond 9 this year. There are new pilots this season so training in certain sections is key to their training regime and when ready to do so they will be all out together in a 9. It’s quite fascinating to see them practice in bits and pieces.
❤
Watching this on my TV. Great to see !! Is XM607 back on the WAVE yet?? Hope to see her one day!
Oii oiii Rich thank you. I think XM607 has had a new paint job but I’m sure she’s not far from the WAVE in the base.
@@TedConingsby I have seen the photos of her, she looks great!! The man who painted her , Steven Hand (who was also part of the crew who looked after XH558) & his team did a fantastic job!! 607 is one of many Vulcans I still need to see

Why only 6 aircraft use to be 9 in a display ?
Details in description “ It is not unusual for the Red Arrows to practice with less than 9 aircraft. Some sequences do not require all 9 aircraft and you can see a singleton, 2, 4, 5, 6 or various numbers of Red Arrows practice”
