The Red Arrows are the British RAF Aerobatic Team. They first flew the Folland Gnat jet trainer when the team originated in 1965.
The team originally had a total of seven pilots. In their first year of performing they flew a total of 65 exhibits.
In 1966 the Red Arrows added two additional display pilots for a total of nine. It was at that time that they adopted the diamond formation that became the trademark of the team.
The display pilots are supported by approximately 100 team members. They began flying their current aircraft, the BAE Hawk jet trainer in 1979. For more information, pictures, sound, history, and BAE Hawk scale radio control airplanes, click here.
