Red Arrows
To mark the 300 years anniversary of “La isla del Rey” in Menorca the R.A.F.´s world-famous aerobatic, the Red Arrows, will visit the island.
The team will put on a full display on 25th and 26th of May and will be departing the 27th of May.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team based in RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, England, was created in 1964. The Red Arrows badge shows the aircraft in its characteristic diamond nine formation, equipped with seven Folland Gnat training which were inherited from the RAF patrol Yellowjacks.
This aircraft was chosen because it was cheaper to operate than other fighters.
In his first season, flew in 65 air shows in Europe. In 1966, the group was increased to nine members, enabling them to develop their training “Diamond Nine”. In late 1979, changed the BAE Hawk trainer aircraft.
The Red Arrows have played over 4,000 performances worldwide in 53 countries.
