Red Arrows will display with 7 rather than 9 Hawks this season

"as two of our formation pilots have moved to other roles within the RAF"
Flying rubber dog muck out of Hong Kong?

Weird comment Gus. Anyway, with seven Hawks two will do the crossover displays leaving five in the main formation. Could this be used to advantage as the formation will be less unweildy leading to some higher energy manouvres?

I wonder if Red 8 is the 2nd one to leave, having been brought back for this season?

I think you'll find it's quite an amusing Top Gun quote......... as for higher energy manouevres, not likely in any way at this stage of the season and PDA build up.... which they normally would have achieved at the end of Spring Hawk which is finishing imminently I'd have thought.....otherwise it would take months to design and build up a new display sequence effectively writing off this season.

[Sparts99]

Ah ok. On both counts.

[Gus0898uk]

It is very sad when anything like this happens to a team, even the Blue Angels etc.
My gallows humour was in light of the new Top Gun being premiered very soon.
Agent K, Many thanks, we may be the only 2 old enough to remember that part of the film.

Make that 4, I suspect that more oldies will remember that!. Very good though that film was, I was very disappointed at Oshkosh, when it was voted the best Aviation film of all time!!.... REALLY!!!.

But what is...? Cue for a new thread, or has it been done before on FC...?

Now that would be good, I wonder what films people would think of?

Too much booze. Some serious but amusing stories of the Reds on Pprune. Drunken womanisers!!?? Well I never!

[raptor9]

Blackat. I read Pprune. Surprising and conflicting stories there!

[reaper493]

Reds have earned their PDA today.

Looking at a social media post by Red 1 - it's almost definitely Reds 4 and 5 that have gone.

I'm going to a talk by OC RAFAT Wednesday night, wonder if anyone will dare ask what happened??
