- American Couple Reacts: Britain's: Red Arrows North American Tour 2019! FIRST TIME REACTION! This is the first time we are seeing the Red Arrows in our own country! Over the summer of 2019 the Red Arrows, the RAF's aerobatic display team, were busy flying over North America as part of their biggest-ever tour in the region. For 11 weeks the Reds performed displays and fly-past's in more than 20 cities in the United States and Canada. This was such a fun and prideful video between our nations and shows just how real and alive our special relationship is! We enjoy the Red Arrows more and more each time we see them!

There's videos on TH-cam of red arrows at American airshows which are filmed by the people there so show more of the display
@CM-1723 Yes as we showed and said in the video, we did one last year
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow o yea , I've just woke up that's my excuse 😅 lol. Can I recommend a video it's called - every country England as ever invaded visualised.
@CM-1723 We are aware of the video. Just not something we have an interest in.
And don't forget the Aussie Roulettes 😊 I work a few minutes down the road from east sale airforce base and see them practicing all the time
My friend is Damo’s wife who was mentioned having their baby when in Canada. The RAF were great - they immediately found a commercial flight that was flying to London an hour after the phone call. They met him at the airport and drove him to the hospital door. He got there with less than an hour spare and saw the birth of their daughter. Had a couple of days at home and flew back to join the team for the next air show.
We live only 15 mins drive from the reds’ new base at RAF Waddington. We’re blessed to see them practicing all the time and saw the Saudi Hawks a few weeks ago too.
As a Brit it fills me with immense pride to see this and your appreciation to the Arrows! Great reaction video once again girls.
2 lezzas doing for views

The Red Arrows are incredible. Back in 80s my Dad was a RAAF Roulette (Aussie jet display team) and he to this day still says the Reds are the benchmark. Unlike the Red Arrows though they were part time their day job being instructors. He got the call up after #1 and #2 were killed in an accident during practice. They had a USAF exchange pilot on the team who later went on to be a Thunderbird.
Like Dad quite a lot of ex Red Arrows and ex Roulettes ended up flying together based in Hong Kong. Heard lots of their cool stories having beers with them in my late teenage years.
The RAF Black Arrows ( 111 Squadron ) aerobatic display team formed in 1956, flying all black Hawker Hunter aircraft. They still hold the world record for looping 22 aircraft in formation at the Farnborough Airshow in 1958, the photo used to hang in the Pilots crew room at RAF Wattisham. I was part of the groundcrew of 111 Squadron from 1971 - 1974 ( English Electric Lightning F3 )
The Red Arrows were practising right over our house two weeks ago. It was amazing and my ten year old grandson, who is crazy about planes was so moved by it he burst into tears.
I used to get the Red Arrows and the Spitfire/Hurricane/Lancaster going over my old house. They were so low sometimes I could see the pilots. Unfortunately, now I don't get to see or hear them even when they come over my area.
The Red Arrows were based at RAF Scampton near Lincoln in Lincolnshire until earlier this year when this historic base closed down, former home to 617 Squadron The Dambusters, they didn’t move far to RAF Waddington also near Lincoln. Also near Lincoln is RAF Conigsby home of The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and a small museum which you can visit. Lincolnshire was known as Bomber County during World War Two due to the number of bomber airfields.
Scampton is now being considered to house foreign criminals who paid to cross the channel. Many flew from Scampton to stop a German Invasion , Now the Government has rolled over and excepted an Invasion. What was it all for,
Yes they were and as a forces child growing up and knowing digby very well this is great to watch
Arawas
Would love to hear your stories. All my family were RAF including my grandparents I would love them to see alwewas my raid (welsh for granddad) was a founding member of the RAF
Taid
Brits and Yanks. Go together like cheese and wine, beers and burgers and coffee and cream. So proud🇺🇸🇬🇧
Proud to be English 🇬🇧
Love the Red Arrows. They are actually putting on a show this weekend at the Blackpool Air Show. Its a good lil documentary too, sadly the channel , Forces TV, who did it shut down last year. They used to have lots of modern military related shows/news aswell as old shows like MASH and old movies like The Dirty Dozen. Now they just have a page on here covering news
Yes here's a couple of the first videos of their display at the Blackpool Air Show yesterday over the glistening sea. Stunning !. Blackpool was packed.

@@TimeyWimeyLimeyno hi
My niece lives at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, her husband is an engineer with the RAF, the Red Arrows are now based at Waddington, after their longtime home Scampton was closed. Earlier in the summer he went to Croatia with the Reds for 3 weeks, she regularly sends me videos of them from her garden doing displays above the base 😊 such a lucky lady 😂 I’ve seen them 4 times performing over the years at airshows & they are amazing 🤩
hello ladies. I just have to tell you….the Red Arrows just flew over my house. I’ve never seen them before. So exciting!
So cool!
Sensational video. I love squadrons like that. I’m pretty certain all western countries do. Would be epic to see the teams from all allied nation perform a display together. Can you imagine??. Outstanding job once again girls. Really do appreciate the effort!.
That would be the most epic thing ever!!
If you want goosebumps then please watch last night of the proms, land of hope and glory, rule brittania and Jerusalem. Please, please, please, love your channel 🇬🇧🙂
Well you're in luck...tune in in the next couple weeks 😉😉
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow hooray, finally lol, thank you, you will love it
@TheNatashaDebbieShow Natasha, I'm pretty sure you will weep. I do and I've been brought up with it and it still gets me every time 🙂🇬🇧
One of my family members is part of the Red Arrows - he is one of the engineers in the planes (the one’s in the blue uniform). So proud of him.
I saw the red arrows when I was younger and it was awe inspiring seeing them fly over the great States of America fills me with pride again sharing the same colours.🇬🇧💗🇺🇲
I went to an air show yesterday to watch The Red Arrows absolutely amazing
Lucky!!
I've seen them perform a few times in the UK, it sends chills down your spine, so proud of our Red Arrows & all the armed forces, take care & God bless ladies x
Hiya ladies, another brilliant video, thank you so much for your genuine love and respect for not only our British forces but all who are serving or have served in any of the world's services. I am very proud of our very special relationship and close bond we have you guys over there in the US. My dad served in the Royal navy during the second World War and he told us, the family,,,when he he and thousands of others left new York on board HMS Queen Mary to return home to the UK, there is actually video footage of this. Thanks again to you both, I hope you enjoy your holiday here with us next year and we exceed all your expectations ❤❤, take care, Tony
The red arrows are the best.I live in England and have seen them three times.They are absolutely amazing!!
I'd seen this on television over here and it was wonderful to watch it again with you enjoying our wonderful Red Arrows. Never forget hearing a deafening roar and running outside to see them fly over my house! Incredibly proud of them 😊
Red arrows at Blackpool airshow today
I love air shows, this documentary was brilliant, I’ve seen them a few times doing their aerobatics and catching them on their flight path to a show ❤
The U.K. has had display teams since the 1920s some of the most notable are the Blue Diamonds, firebirds, pelicans, yellow jacks, black arrows and finally the red arrows
Just to give you a clue how low they fly sometimes, when in formation years ago, one clipped the mast of yacht in Brighton!
Yes our Blue Angels & Thunderbirds do the same
The Red Arrows just flew over my home yesterday (12/August/23) a special treat for visitors to Edinburgh, especially those at the Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle. J
🇺🇸 The formation at 29:22, as a mark of respect for the USA, by performing the “Star Spangled Banner” across the sky,
🇬🇧🤝🏻🇺🇸
I live in Lincoln and we can see The Red Arrows regularly practicing they were out last Friday doing their thing . my husband father and brother did 110 years between them in the RAF very proud of them ❤
I saw the Red Arrows over Niagara Falls. The Snowbirds are here fairly often. The Snowbirds and the Thunderbirds Performed have performed at the Niagara Falls International Airshow.
Big thank you America for the welcome you gave to The Red Arrows & all the R A F Surport teams & to let us show you what we can do . Lets say The Red Arrows & The Blue Angels are Damm good display teams
Don't forget our amazing Thunderbirds too! 🇺🇸
Please forgive me , an honest mistake . T he Thunderbirds i know are the Ford Cars & the family that live on Tracey Island , Aircraft called Thunderbird 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . 6 , 7 ,8 , & a pink Rolls Royce driven by Parker@@TheNatashaDebbieShow
Loved it girls. It reminds me of watching Oz's Red Arrows while at a desert race meet at Birdsville. Just brilliant.
From an English girl I love your videos and we r definitely family across the pond and hope U have fun on your UK trip ❤❤
Natash, You can get a Hobby Boss Kit of the Hawk, part/stock number HB 81735. You'd have to check to see if its available as they have haven't made it in awhile. Airfix also do a Red Arrows 50th anniversary kit but it's not a great build, Part number AX 50159. It's a two plane kit containing the Hawk and their previous aircraft the Folland Gnat.
Love the reds ❤
A friend of mine was a Submarine commander - I know thats basically the polar opposite of a stunt pilot but... you really do realise just how different to you and me these guys are.... and most of them are small - the ones that run battleships, subs, fly planes... they're short in stature. If you stood next to them in a bar... you wouldn't notice. But.... they run some of the most advanced military equipment on the planet. The people in the various militaries are just... different... to us. Total respect and admiration to them. I get stressed over a spreadsheet not loading.... they get stressed over a 6G maneuverer.
Another fantastic reaction girls, love the new toy Debbie has 🤣 Red Arrows always pull in the crowds. When you visit the UK next year you might even get to see them live. Plenty of air shows going on over July and August but never sure which ones get the Red Arrows. Love, hugs and prayers from Sussex, UK GB ❤US
Just watching your show (one of many I've watched) and thought I'd let you know that after being out picking up stuff in my car, just got home and heard this jet coming over and it was a Hawk ... and it was definitely RED!! ... So probably one of the guys going or returning solo to or from somewhere! Quite appropriate that this popped up whilst browsing TH-cam this evening. 👍👍👍
I live in North Yorkshire about a mile from the end of Linton on Ouse runway where they used to do the early part of fast jet training with Tucanos. Sadly, the base is now closed and all training is done over at Valley in North Wales. I don't half miss the daily low level flyovers of singletons through to formations of up to five.😢😢😢
The first pilot talking must be on exchange from Australia.
Hi from Lincolnshire, UK, this is so great seeing this, feel even more grateful to have them based in Lincoln, seeing them everyday practicing is fantastic.
Glad you all enjoy them.
I've been lucky enough to see the red arrows many, many times over the years . They are just fabulous, as are all the formation teams all over the world.
Before the Red Arrows the RAF had the Yellow Jacks but very few people remember them. For me though in the mid 1950s a whole squadron of Hunter fighter jets 22 aircraft did a display at Farnborough. As a small boy living near there home base I saw them loop all 22 aircraft . This just! was a standard RAF squadron. The aircraft were painted black so for a while they were nicknamed the Black Arrows. They were a short term occurrence because of cost and safety. There was a very poor quality short video on TH-cam this
I also saw the Black Arrows (111 Squadron) in the late 1950’s. My Dad used to take me to the Biggin Hill air shows. Fantastic displays. I also remember the Vulcan scrambles they did. I could put my hand on the ground and feel it vibrate, as did the pit of my stomach.
Wonderful memories.
Up until the 1970s, the RAF often flew quite a few different display teams. In the 1950s it was normal for one front line fighter squadron to be nominated as the main RAF team. For instance, 92 squadron flew Hawker Hunters painted all over blue. They called themselves the Blue Diamonds. Then we had 111 Squadron with their all black Hunters (The Black Arrows). There were even some teams flying English Electric Lightnings. In addition to this there were teams flying the Hunting Jet Provost - The Linton Blades, The Macaws, The Gemini Pair etc.
@@EricIrl
I have some programs from the Hendon Air Displays that my Dad bought at the shows in the 1930’s . There are some wonderful photos of different squadrons flying with their planes linked together with ribbons.
The 1936 program is very interesting with all the latest RAF aircraft, many not then named, that would be very familiar in just a few years time.
In the 1920s and 30s, it was considered a great honour for an RAF squadron to be selected to display at the Hendon Air Pageant.@@markborder906
Hi Ladies , great video so pleased you enjoyed seeing the Red Arrows , as to your question there are various models of the aircraft available not sure if allowed to say but the A / Tropical rainforest selling web site has some in both Die cast and model build form . XXX
The US Navy also use the BAE Hawk aircraft as a trainer but call them Goshawks
Ladies you wanted to know if the Arrows and Thunderbirds are together anytime ! th-cam.com/video/xTl4m1W7Xdk/w-d-xo.html
Yes it was a working visit but I imagine it was a brilliant and memorable experience. Those tours are once in a lifetime and not many get to go on them so you become part of a unique club. In the forces another busy night often means another night of getting smashed but not in this case when they had to fly the following morning.
I’ve been filming the red arrows at an air show last weekend, got some incredible footage ❤
You put this video out same day they performed for whitby regatta weekend (Sunday) they were awesome as ever. ❤
There was one thing missing from the display maybe for safety concerns two of the planes leave the team and fly toward each other and at the last moment turn away their closing speed would be 800 miles an hour thanks girls great video
My dear old mum lives not far from the Red Arrow base RAF Waddington. She often sees them in the skies above Lincolnshire practising
@25:27. Snowbirds! My fellow Canadians!
Have a look for videos showing planes flying the Mach Loop in North Wales, between Dolgellau and Machynlleth. It’s a low flying zone that has plenty of videos of RAF and USAF going through.
Really enjoyed that girlies, love the fed arrows. I watched this programme but enjoyed watching again. Well done girlies ❤
Thanks so much!
I find this overt nationalism cringworthy.
Seen these guys loads. Makes me proud to be British 🇬🇧
They just flew over my house on their way back from an air show. Blackpool, I think. Rattled the bloody windows.
Heroes all of them. A big respect for all the people involve. Big hug mujeres hermosas.Always looking forward for the next video.
As always love you guys. I'm British but have worked for the U.S. Air Force at RAF Lakenheath now for five years and you both make me feel so proud of both our great nations......so thank you
My grandfather built the Queen Mary in Scotland all by himself. Well that was how it sounded to a very young grandchild. 🤣🤣🤣
The Red Arrows are always the main attraction at any air show in the UK, where they display. Have been fortunate to have seen them displaying at the local air show several times and it never gets old.. :) I hope you'll have a chance to get to see them one day.
Where I lived in England was just 5 miles from Little Rissington , Gloucestershire where the Red Arrows were based . They used to practise over and around our house. This was back in the 1960s. Now they are based at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire but have had several bases over the years. Think of how lucky we were to have so many free displays when they were practicing their skills. Thank you for showing this video. You ladies are the best. Keep up the Natasha and Debbie show. xxx
In Canada, we have the RCAF Snowbirds ❤️
If you want to build a model, there is a British plastic kit company called Airfix who make a Red Arrows BAE Hawk, I think it even comes with glue and paint. I am and always have been very proud of the Red Arrows. I probably first saw them in 1967 or 68.
Please look at the RAF's Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight, you won't be disappointed!
Because of watching your really interesting shows, I am just full of pride of the small country that I live. Thank you, thank you, and even more thank you's girls.
Live long and prosper.
Paul.
Enjoyed this ladies- the USA Thunderbirds were at the opening of Brisbane Airport Australia in 1988 - they put on a wonderful performance- when they left, their refuelling aircraft left first and they followed a short while later - described as the chicks catching up with mother hen - I worked for the Airport management at the time and was lucky to get to meet the Thunderbird’s pilots on the tarmac just before they left- amazing experience 🥰👍🏻🇦🇺
when you come to the UK, if you're in Newcastle for the Great North Run in September, the Red Arrows do a fly by over our iconic Tyne Bridge as the big crowd of runners start to cross the Tyne , they then perform a fantastic show at the end of the race on South Shields seafront , I can't see the fly by and the show as I'm just on the cliffs at the sea shore for either one or both of my daughters finishing the race but I swear my girls go faster to make certain they see the Red Arrows display...it's such a stunning day 🎉❤
Thanks for the tip!
We have got the Red Arrows at the Bournemouth air show again this year.
I remember when Flt Lt Jon Egging lost his life when his Hawk crashed in 2011 over Bournemouth (south coast of England). There is a memorial in his honour overlooking the beach.
I am a PC based at Bournemouth and get to police the air show, it’s hard not to look up to the sky when they are flying overhead! ❤
They flew over my house this afternoon
Immense pride in the Red Arrows and the Raf,hits my emotions everytime ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸❤
I'm from the uk and found this video very interesting. Thanks guys ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m so proud to say I live 10 minutes away from their base at RAF Waddington. We see them in the sky so regularly that we definitely take their presence for granted!
Thanks for reacting to our great Red Arrows, love your enthusiasm. My daughter loves aviation, she has built many planes, including the red arrows, wish I could show you them. She also loves to take their pics and wants to be an aviation photographer one day.
I'm from Weston super Mare and the red arrows are very common there, doing their shows over the beach and see, ever since I was a baby I've seen them. They are truly amazing. And I agree how lovely it is that our relational nations share our experiences with each other as not just great allies but close friends and family. I think the majority if us Brits see the U.S as our big brother. I love Americans, love America and makes me so proud to have as close relations that we do.
Just look at the way they parked the planes. Even that was poetic.
Every time I see the Red Arrows, it brings a tear to my eye, and my heart is ready to explode with pride.
Love the Red Arrows , l appreciate how many hours of practice it Takes to gain the skills to be a Red and how much time they put into getting their displays perfect( l live near their old base Scampton and the new one Waddington Lincolnshire.. they practice a lot😁). I think the whole uk fills with pride when they are apart of our National celebrations and at the many Air shows they display at . It is great to see the Arrows in the USA 🇺🇸 helping to strengthen the love, bond and respect our Nations have . Thanks for another great show , 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Natasha & Debbie, another great reaction video lady's.
Debbie you need to get Microsoft flight SIM 2020 and the red arrows Hawk, it's the only way I will ever get to fly the Hawk, and it is actually amazing to fly.
Thank you to all military, serving and veterans…. 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
This video makes me so proud of our RAF.
You should check out some older footage of the red arrows as the displays back in the day are way more impressive
Loved this video! I have been to many airshows in the past to see them and I always get emotional. When the red arrows fly over Buckingham palace within the next minute they are flying over my house spectacular!
It was great to see the special relationship with America and seeing the pilots having fun and behind the scenes was super! 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
Ive sat in a typhoon jet, AWESOME!
Brit here, I've seen the Reds quite a few times and yes, they are impressive! I was at one air show where the announcer stated "Ladies and gentlemen, the Red Arrows". Pause, where are they then? Thunderous roar as they come in behind us, so low they nearly part your hair. They used to fly very low and in fact I was at an airshow in Brighton where one flew so low it clipped the top of a yatch mast and went on to crash in the sea. NB: I've been to the Sataes about 20 times for work and pleasure, all over the place and can say I have received nothing but courtesy and generosity. Warm feelings. Thanks for your lovely show.
You ladies seem just so..
Castles. British cultural buildings and spaces.
Military excellence.
Top use of jet planes for entertainment.
Um.
I thought I'd worked out the point I wanted to make about this channel. But it seems I haven't.
I just love what you do and how you do it.
The Reds are just mind-blowingly amazing. Just speechless about that.
PS. Red Arrows at Dartmouth. Look it up.
I know it’s on the video you showed , NOT your comments BUT …as a Canadian it drives me NUTS (maybe nuttier) when Brits use the term ‘America’ to refer to Canada too , as the Title ‘Red Arrows Across America’. Not North America. This happened to me a few times in the UK being called American even when told that I am Canadian, and while wearing a Maple Leaf pin 🍁. I got even when one response was “same thing”. I replied “ Well, it’s very nice to meet a Welshman.” The reply was “No, I’m English.”
My answer you can guess…”same thing” !!! 😆
Mic drop 🎤! They understood then !
We hear ya! Our Canadian friends always go through this. We love ya and we certainly know we share a continent 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦
@@TheNatashaDebbieShowLove you two, and your enthusiasm ❤ !
@@jackmac2874 thank you! 😊
I wouldn't worry too much about vertigo when flying,I have a friend who has vertigo on the ground but when he was a flight instrutor flying didn't produce any adverse effect,weird...................................................
I grew up in Lincoln which is where their home base is and where they do a lot of their training and practice. Was always a thrill seeing them do low passes, especially when you where driving into the city with the cathedral on the horizon.
Great video as usual 😀
The best place to see the Red Arrows in the UK is on the day of the Great North Run. I was crossing the river towards the finish line to meet my wife in a river taxi when a Singleton Red Arrow came up the river towards us. The pilot went into a shallow dive and pointed the areoplane straight at us! Everyone on the boat collectively went oops, then cheered as the pilot flew past. Thankyou for the film.
Excellent..... there's also the Italian AF Display Team...they're great. Frecce Tricolori.
What an epic operation. The whole team, pilots and ground crew etc, must have been so tired after doing that for 11 weeks. How humble are they, being these elite pilots and yet so excited to fly where Top Gun was filmed (cute) ❤
the red arrows are amazing but also are the thunderbirds and blue angels all incredible teams of highly trained professionals
I'm from Newcastle, UK (I've seen your amazing reactions to my city, and Northumberland), but my cousin is a doctor in the US Navy and has been stationed many times at Miramar and also North Island on Coronado. It was great to see the Red Arrows there!
The US Marine Corp use basically the same aircraft as the Red Arrows Hawk. It is called the McDonnell Douglas T45 Goshawk and much modified for Aircraft Carrier operations, with arrester hook etc. They were made in the UK by BAESystems but go under the McDonnell Douglas name. I used to work for BAESystems and made parts for the T45.
Nice reaction !
Kindly also react to Indonesia Art & Culture.
We have video,
ART & CULTURE : Cultural Performance at Gala Dinner G20 Summit by Culture Media Creative.
Was held in Bali, Indonesia on 15 november 2022.
President of Indonesia, Mr Joko Widodo lead the dinner with performing Art, Music and culture.
I hope you enjoy and surprise to see the video.
Many Thanks! 😊🇮🇩🙏
Sorry but, as much as I love our American cousins, the Red Arrows are the GREATEST and so is the Royal Air Force. 🤷🏼♀️ #fact 🏴🇬🇧
Hi ladies, I have been lucky to have seen the red arrows on numerous of occasion’s, we see American 707 refuelling Plus the big transport planes into RAF Mildenhall and the F15s F35s from RAF 😊Lakenheath nearly every other day .
Great video ladies. Fabulous photography. There was a TV documentary show here in the UK which followed the team on the whole tour.
Natasha yes, there are models available in 1/72 scale and 1/48 scale by Airfix, Revell (1/72) and, I believe, Hobbyboss (1/48). Not sure of availability of some/all in the US though
Hey Debs and Nat... I'm afraid I have to make your Envy more intense. Our LGBT+ group have organised a picnic up on the East Sussex Downs , here in Eastbourne this coming Friday the 18th August to watch our Annual Airshow.... Guess what????? Yes! The Red Arrows will be there again this year, finishing off the show with their awesome displays. Last year, we all were sitting there... Then suddenly from behind us the Reds came flying over VERY low😮 it was magnificent!! The screams from our group could be heard for miles I guess... I hope you both get to experience them live in flight ✈️. Thanks for the video guys! Greetings from Our LGBT+ community here in the UK. Take care both ❤
The love for us Brits has made me so proud its made me cry lol ❤
A correction to what you state and place on the screen at 17:52. The first air force to create an official squadron for public air displays was the Royal Candian Air Force (RCAF) Siskins in 1929. The RCAF was also the world's first military aviation force to perform an official military aerobatic display for the public in 1919 at the national exhibition in Toronto. Followed by the RAF in 1920 at the very first annual RAF Pagent in London. The US Army Air Force began their first official public air displays in 1927.
The next air force to form an official public air display squadron after Canada was the French Air Force with the Patrouille d'Étampes in 1931. The air forces and navies of both the UK and USA ran many unofficial air display squadrons from the 1920s through to the 1970s, both before and alongside their official air display squadrons. The USN formed its official air display squadron, The Blue Angels in 1946, followed by the USAF Acrojets in 1948, which was the very first air display team to fly jets. The RAF's first official air display squadron was The Black Arrows in 1956.
My holiday home's are in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, UK. We have an Air Show here every year, and "The Red Arrows" are always part of the show. (This years Air Show was August 24th & 25th 2023). A highlight of the show is two of the Red Arrows draw a heart in the sky with red smoke, and a third jet fly's through the centre of the heart with red smoke on leaving the red arrow piercing the heart. Love and best wish's to all ❤😄
Edit: I found a TH-cam clip of it. It's only 36 seconds long, but you see the heart and arrow. th-cam.com/video/N9PEs5vKxMo/w-d-xo.html
Red Arrows are good however they (2024) are now the only RAF unit to use that Hawk model, all others have now been scrapped or are in technical schools. They, like many European teams use training aircraft which are coming to the end of their service life. Techl Support for the Reds has been given for app 10 years, what happens after that, who knows. The French, Spanish, 1 of the Swiss teams all have the same issue. They are using 1970s technologies. I saw approx 7 display teams last year Inc the Blue Angel's, Thunderbirds, Swiss, etc, I'd say the Blue Angels are probably more dramatic and the Thunderbirds display differently in the US to the UK however the Reds are noticeably different. In a way, in the UK, can take the Reds for granted, enjoy these teams while can😊
A small few interesting points.
The Airbus A400 Atlas has four engines, two have rotor blades that spin clockwise, and two have rotors that spin anti clockwise/counter clockwise.
The engines themselves all spin the same direction, but two have gearboxes to make the rotor blades spin the other way.
The Lockheed Hercules that does the similar role for the Blue Angels that the Atlas does for the Red Arrows, is called Fat Albert. In 2019 the then current Fat Albert was a Hercules C130T, but was replaced after 17 years and 30,000 hours of service, her retirement was/is an RAF Hercules C130J for $30million.
Also of note is the ship, the Queen Mary. While she was a British cruise liner, on the advent of WWII, she was commandeered by the war office for war duty. She is remembered in many US service persons minds as the ship that conveyed US service personnel both into and out of war. So while she is just a vessel to some as she sits there, she is remembered fondly by many that saw them out, sadly, not as many home.
