The RAF Red Arrows aerobatic team has been wowing audiences for over fifty years. Their precision flying combinations are legendary andfor many the thrilling opposition manoeuvres of the Synchro Pair are a highlight of their display.The Red Arrows are the public face of the Royal Air Force and are superb ambassadors for the United Kingdom. Designed to meet an RAF requirement for a fast trainer to replace the Folland Gnat, the BaE Hawk first flew on August 21, 1974. This tandem two-seat aircraft has a distinctive appearance, with the front seat positioned below the rear seat so that the instructor has a clear view of the student's cockpit. The Hawk is subsonic in level flight but can achieve Mach 1.15 in a dive, giving trainees the experience of supersonic flight. Hawks are expensive to produce but durable and maneuverable enough to be used for combat. The Hawk is in use in 18 different nations, and is still in production today. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
