Pilots have begun training for the Red Arrows displays scheduled across the UK for 2022 and this year the displays will be different.
The official Red Arrows Twitter page shared a post which explains that instead of nine aircrafts being involved in the displays, there will be seven as two of the team members won’t be taking part this time around.
The Royal Air Force website confirms that the two Red Arrows members that are no longer part of the displays “have moved to other roles within the RAF.”
If you’re wondering where you can see the Red Arrows this summer, look no further.
Pre-season training for the Red Arrows is well underway and the team is excited to be preparing for a summer full of great events. This year the team will display with a seven-aircraft formation, rather than nine – find out more here: https://t.co/soGHEeNabs pic.twitter.com/ecxCp00eFj
