Reds in 10 years time?
 

Having enjoyed the reds flyby today I just wondered what they might be flying 10 years from now - what is the position with Hawk life and any future deliveries?

Desks, probably!:)

Jack

perhaps todays "formation" was a glance at the future :rolleyes:
In other words wouldnt it be nice to see the Typhoons in use on a regular basis. let the General public see what there paying for :)

:)

would that mean airmen and aircrew alike could at last apply to fly those remote controlled beasts :rolleyes:

4 posts before the Reds are slagged off... About normal:ugh:

The question has been asked before - I've yet to see a serious answer...

Sadly I suspect that once FIs get to a certain level, President Broon (or whoever is in no's 10 & 11) and the Politburo will 'Cut some costs' :{

Typical rubbish from a 90 year old = Plot Finder - who has obviously lost the plot!

wishfull thinking ,but just like the blue angels and thunderbirds i would love to see our blokes in a proper loud jet. imagine 4+ typhoons in scarlet ripping up da place(street slang)!!!!

No Comment After The Last 'Performance':ugh::*:rolleyes:

I have a memory like a 'microchip' lol:}

Can you expand on that?

I don't doubt for a minute that RAFAT won't survive much beyond the lifespan of the Hawk T1s.

Maybe it'll be half a dozen Tucanos, as has been mentioned on here before.

With two in RAF colours, and seven in BA colours by the sound of things...

Reds in 10 years time
 

Reds. .. Why the plural?

Gordo will have killed off any sense of a team long before 2018 :ugh:

So the next time the 'Reds' fly over London will be the reformed USSR when they walk into a defenceless Britain in 10 years time?

My spies tell me there have been "studies" on the engineering possibilities of extending a "small number" of Hawks to 2018 ........

..... go figure, but my money would be on a farewell season for the centenary........:ok:

same old
 

10 years time, no problem, same old displays we have seen time and time again. There are after all only so many formations to try. Yawn.
Scrap the reds, money saved :D, and lets see the Vulcan again, now that would be top of the show !!!:)

I think he's already managed that, within the Labour Party. :oh:

Same Old Reds....
 

They are a display team. The RAF has more to display than a red, white and blue ballet.

OK, it is a demonstration of massively skilled flying but is aerial dance what the RAF is for?

Abandon the Hawk-dance and use the money for the historic flight, including a jet component, and for a few public demo's (outside of the "airshow context") of the force's real abilities: ie a low, fast, massed-Typhoon demo. over Hyde Park or Brighton beach.

Mmmmmm good idea Rory.

I like the Reds but the thought of having the BBMF and also a Lightning, Buccaner, Hunter, and maybe a Phantom zipping around at airshows.

And for the selling Britain and Queens Birthday events etc 9 Typhoons just doing a fast low flypast..Nice.
