Reds 2013 PDA

The Reds were today awarded their Public Display Authority out in Cyprus by CAS. From the 26th of May we will see a full team with all 9 red jets displaying again in the UK skies.

The Team has come through a very tough time and it is wonderful to see them back in the air as a full 9-ship and displaying brilliantly. I think the whole country is proud of them. I certainly am. Well done guys!

Which will no doubt allow for legacy equipment to be used during a transitional period but the public face of the RAF should at least embrace the latest kit. (Unless you think the new boots are crap)

No, just that they are not cleared for use in the Hawk.

Great news! For three wonderful years I used to watch them doing their spring work up from Akrotiri - best show on earth.

Flying Boots ... Nah ... These are Flying Boots



I guess they aren't cleared for the Hawk ... like they weren't for the Chipmunk

The Hawk RTS doesn't count for the RAFAT.

They don't need to comply with that.
