With precision displays, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, showcases the excellence of the RAF and represents the UK at home and overseas.
Thank you to the Washington Nationals for inviting us to the game yesterday.
It was great to perform a flypast, meet fans and join the Band of His Majesty’s Royal Marines at Nationals Park in a celebration of UK-US friendship.

Operation Eagle Hawk - the Red Arrows’ tour to the United States marking the nation’s 250th anniversary of independence - begins today, with the team departing our home. But how do we get the Hawks, that can’t refuel in the air and have limited range, there?
