Altitude – Red Arrows competition
The Red Arrows are world-famous ambassadors for the Royal Air Force. Only the best pilots in the RAF are good enough to fly with this elite aerobatic display team – but for one day only, you and a friend could be joining The Red Arrows too.
Expect action
In the pre-flight brief you’ll see The Red Arrows laying down the groundwork for adrenalin-fuelled stunt flights with military precision. Over lunch you’ll rub shoulders with the pilots about to perform incredible feats of aerobatics. Last but not least, you’ll get to watch a thrill-packed practice flight with a ringside seat.
Expect an insider view
You’ll get behind the scenes on a guided tour of the hangar – keep an eye out for the iconic Hawk aircraft you’ve only ever seen soaring at full-tilt across the sky.
Expect a great memento from the day
To make sure you don’t forget a minute of your day out, you will get a photo with the Red Arrows pilots and one of the majestic Hawk jets.
