The Red Arrows

[Matzos]

The Royal Air Force's aerobatic team The Red Arrows have received their Public Display Authority.

The Red Arrows have to receive Public Display Authority (PDA) each year in order to be deemed safe to perform to global audiences. The PDA is authorised by Commander in Chief (CinC) Personnel and Training Command Air Marshal Barry Thornton.

Air Marshal Thornton had to assess whether the Red Arrows new display proved to him that the team was both safe to fly and that the team was to the right standard. The difficult and hair raising formation had to meet the expectations of the global public.

The Red Arrows announced that they will begin their 2006 display season with a 3-week goodwill tour of the Far East, Middle East and Europe. They are set to demonstrate British excellence to millions of people in eight different countries; Jordan, India, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Greece and Spain.

The Team will perform their first 2006 UK display at the Isle of Man TT races on 10 June 2006, followed by over 80 displays across the UK and Europe until the end of September 2006

Excellent post mate.
The information and pics are of the high standard we have come to expect from you.

I salute you whilst in my Red Wine (Shiraz Cabernet) induced state.

I consider myself very lucky, in that I only live a few miles away from the Red arrows and I see then training daily when they are at home.
