Sites throughout the United Kingdom where one can witness the Red Arrows performing this summer
Red Arrows' Summer 2025 Tour: Excitement Builds Amidst Cancellations
The Red Arrows, Britain's prestigious aerobatic display team, are set to take to the skies this summer, thrilling audiences across the UK. Known as the "Circus" for their precision teamwork, the Red Arrows consist of 11 elite pilots, 100 engineers, and support crew.
The Red Arrows' summer 2025 season kicked off with a flypast over Buckingham Palace to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Fans can look forward to catching the mighty Red Arrows at various events throughout the summer.
The Red Arrows' display at the Duxford Flying Finale, scheduled for October 4, 2025, is one such event that has been eagerly anticipated. However, organisers recently announced the cancellation of this show, leaving thousands of fans disappointed.
Despite this setback, the Red Arrows are scheduled to perform at several other events. The Old Buckenham Airshow, for instance, will feature two Red Arrows displays on July 26 and 27, 2025. Unfortunately, the team had to cancel their display at the Old Buckenham Airshow due to bad weather and safety concerns on Saturday, August 2025.
Safety is a priority for the Red Arrows, as stated by Red 10. The vibrant smoke trails of the Red Arrows' jets help pilots judge wind direction and maintain tight formations, but they also serve as a reminder of the team's commitment to safety.
The Red Arrows' Hawk T1 jets can reach speeds of 660mph and can break the sound barrier in a dive, making their displays a spectacle not to be missed.
To join the Red Arrows, hopefuls must have at least 1,500 flying hours, complete an operational tour, and be rated 'above average' in the air.
The Red Arrows' confirmed summer 2025 UK tour schedule includes:
- July 10, 11, 13: Goodwood Festival of Speed with display times at 11:45 (July 10), 13:00 (July 11), and 12:20 (July 13).
- July 18, 19, 20: Royal International Air Tattoo.
- July 21: The Tall Ship Races in Aberdeen.
- September 7: Display at the Great North Run in Newcastle upon Tyne.
The Swanage Carnival will have a Red Arrows display on July 26, 2025. Fans are hoping for clear skies for all upcoming shows to witness the precision and power of the Red Arrows.
