Fly with the Red Arrows (3D): The Science Museum, London

Experience flying in the back seat of a Red Arrows Hawk jet without ever leaving the ground. This film features highlights of the team's 2010 display and is the first time that a 3D 'pilot's eye view' has been captured in full high definition video.

It's only when you watch this video that you really appreciate how talented these men are. Every move is down to the split second.

[@jacquelinebishop8465]

Absolutely 💯 but remember you're probably safer up there with being a fully qualified red arrows pilot than on the road down here . We don't often hear of many casualties , last one was 4 years back To us the public watching this video looks terrifying to them the pilots with their experience its probably like riding a bike 🚲

No room for a mistake. Watched a display at RAF Marham today. Everyone learns from mistakes, but these guys cannot make mistakes.

Royal air force red arrows have the best planes ever I've seen the Royal air force red arrows 😊

[@stevenclark1973]

How could anyone dislike this vid?!?!? Compared to what they're doing?!?! Working in a chippy or quite happily sat behind their laptop in their underpants being jealous? Bonkers. These are the top of the pile. Respect.

[@fightersweep]

179 dislikes too. Lot of sad individuals out there.

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Oh my goodness. I’ve never felt patriotic before. Never. But when I saw the red arrows last Sunday at the RAF Valley show I was oozing with pride. 🇬🇧 me and my sister were so inspired by these guys we went to see them fly home and every one of them waved us off as they left the airstrip. I was waving at them and sticking my thumbs up at them and they was waving back and thumbs upping me. So friendly, so blessed and so god damn inspirational.

[@mariannehoutzager9093]

In 1971 I corresponded with David Binnie, one of the Red Arrows pilots and I received lots of photographs, stickers and so on. When I became a private pilot, he was very enthusiastic about it. No matter what type of plane it is, he wrote, a Gnat or a Cessna, you are a pilot too! I visited several air force bases to see them fly. Awesome and I will never forget it. I was a shocked to hear that David Binnie passed away. A great Red Arrows pilot, also a 747 captain of Virgin. R.I.P David!

[@idleeric8556]

The skill levels of these people is hard to comprehend I think. Extremely amazing 🤯🤯🤯😃

This is insane! I remember well when my dad went to an airshow every year when I was a child and I was fascinated by the red arrows but that - I wouldn't even dare to get so close with my car to another one in regular street traffic, let alone when flying at 350kts! o_0

from the ground it looks amazing but from this view it looks terrifying

[@andystuder9613]

TheDct88 That's the difference, to us its down-right amazing....From their stand-point, its all down to concentration..... Don't ever flinch or think....Just follow the planes....I love the RAF....Proud and love to hear and/or see them in airshows.... I just dread to think whoever we fight against thinks about them xD

[@Beemer5]

True.

[@lkogangster9162]

specially the corkscrew

[@dannyberesford7]

You have to be crazy to believe your statement, the Arrows may not look as flamboyant as other display teams but it is all about the timing and co-ordination of 9 aircraft whilst being unbelievably close! The amount of respect they get from other display teams is unrivalled, I watched a documentary on all the display teams of the world and this air show in Canada where they all performed, everyone admitted these guys (and girl) are the best in the world.

WHO AGREES RED ARROWS BEST AEROBATIC TEAM IN THE WORLD

[@nemleon87]

I think they are probably a little better than the blue angels, and I'm American ;)

[@tyloj8284]

2nd best, usaf thunderbirds are a first!😀

[@solentlifeuk]

Tyler Marquez The US Teams have tried copying various of the Red Arrows and killed pilots doing it ... Believe me ... Red Arrows are unique. They are the best - whatever you think. Red Arrows 6ft separation ... ?? Most teams stay at 5m .. that's 15ft ! Don't believe me - then check it out ...

[@tomod4173]

Tyler Marquez or US Navy Blue Angles, seen them both. Both are great flying teams.

[@nerfboyracer]

+TheLionheartist Alot better, blue angels use fly-by-wire systems. and the Hawk jets are the size of an f-18 and the red arrows still fly at 6ft apart

Hes so lucky to fly, ive just returned from RAF Scampton as i was working with the photographers there for a week, its a nice place and i found it surreal walking in the hangar snd seeing the jets parked there and getting to walk arounf them! eveyone on base is so friendly, i knew all the 2012/13 pilots and ground crew anyway, they are such a bunch of nice guys. Im hoping within the next few years to be the official Red Arrows Photographer. its my dream! Im going back on base in febuary :)

[@kerkiraz]

I think my first ever memory was seeing the Red Arrows I think in 1971 aged about 4 or 5. We all had some the time off school and we all went down the harbour to watch. I didn’t really have a clue what the Red Arrows were the only thing in my head at the time was an Apollo Rocket I had probably seen on the telly. I will never forget to this day when these Red planes flying low over my head with the roar of the noise when I was expecting a white rocket of sorts.🚀 Completely smitten to this very day.

[@philfyphil]

This is Cyprus. I was there for 3 years and they used to fly straight over our house in Akrotiri. They trained there a lot so we had a permanent free air show!

[@sawanyadav1122]

The aircraft are flying very close behind each other. Why aren't wake vortices causing them any problems? At least it seems, they have no problems.

I saw this at the Science Museum in London this summer. I was hoping for it to be more realistic but we were all pretty disappointed.

[@SuprSi]

Flt Lt Jon Egging (Red4) crashed Aug 2011, engine failure, he left it too late to eject because he was busy avoiding a village. Brave man :(

[@madzangels]

In terms of their matched speed - how is this done? Are they setting a precise speed through a computer like auto-cruise in a car? Or is this purely manual? It seems there are so many variables in a place that could affect one pilots speed more than the other? It's so impressive either way

[@DHBKidd510]

tl;dr - Its purely manual, but they have an idea of a speed they should be at. From what I know, the team briefs/goes over the flight while on the ground in a room together. Some teams even will walk around the room in formation, mocking the maneuvers they will do in order to make sure everyone is on the same page about where they should be, at which times. They also spend plenty of time practicing in the actual jets, without an official show below them, so they can call 'no-maneuver' or 'knock-it-off' if they get a maneuver incorrect during practice, and will set up for it again. So with all this preparation and practice, certain maneuvers they do, they have and know the range of speed they should be at. For the formations where there is a lead plane of the diamond or delta, the other planes try to stick to and match the speed in which the lead plane sets, but normally, every member/pilot on the team knows what speed which maneuver should be at different times. So if you ever are watching a cockpit video, if you look at the pilot's hand on the throttles, they're usually pushing up on throttle for more power for just a second, then pulling back to ease off power, since the engines usually take a little delay to deliver the power they set, its hard to get it smoothly perfect to where their hands are never moving the throttles. Tiny little adjustments are usually needed to fly as tight as the Red Arrows, Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, Patriots, Knights, etc.
