The Red Arrows

The Red Coats are coming, the Red Coats are coming....oh wait...they have arrived!

For the first time EVER, The British Royal Air Force Red Arrows flying in formation with the F-22 Raptor.

Flying in formation...the trails you see are actually diesel fuel with color dye in it. Don't worry - it evaporates so no harm to the environment.

That's right...the British have arrived at Langley - for the first time, and this is the first time since 1993 that the Red Arrows have performed in the USA!

Go RED, WHITE, and BLUE!

It is so awesome to see how close they are when they pass each other - they do this move (above) and others similar which blows the mind. Talk about training, precision and attention to detail!
