The Red Arrows are a group of nine jets that form the Royal Air Force aerobatic display team based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.

They have performed at many notable events since they were formed in 1964, with their displays becoming widely popular across the UK and the world over.

The Red Arrows usually fly in a diamond formation though tend to wow crowds with aerobatic acts, such as loop the loops, and their trademark red, white and blue smoke in tow.
