The Red Arrows Aerobatics Team

The Red Arrows aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force in the UK, are widely regarded the world's most skilled aerobatics team.

The Red Arrows  have now performed nearly 4,000 displays world-wide, in over fifty countries. They do not use front-line aircraft because of operating costs. The aircraft used is the "Hawk", which was introduced in late 1979. While the Hawk is a very basic airplane, it is still fast enough and very maneuverable, ideal for low-altitude aerobatics. Their normal cruise speed is 360 knots (about one mile every 10 seconds). Music: "A Kind of Magic" by Queen
