Red Arrows And Blue Angels Soar Together In Spectacular US Independence Flypast

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, performed a mixed formation flypast with the United States Navy Blue Angels at Brunswick as part of Operation Eagle Hawk 2026.

The tour of the United States marks 250 years of American independence, with the Red Arrows carrying out a series of displays across the country during the summer.

During the visit, the Red Arrows will perform at events in New York, Wisconsin, Maine, Maryland, and Michigan in June and July.

The team has also been invited to take part in a major international flypast over New York on July 4, Independence Day.

The Red Arrows’ United States activity is part of a wider commitment by UK Armed Forces, including visits by Royal Navy ships and the Band of His Majesty’s Royal Marines, to mark the independence milestone.

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team represents the United Kingdom at home and overseas. The team includes pilots and more than 100 highly trained support personnel and is based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.
