FlyerTon Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Since the Tories decided to shut down RAF Leuchars, seeing the Red Arrows there this year is not an option. Many displays elsewhere, but only two in Scotland: Sat 28 June - Stirling Armed Forces day (17:00) Sat 26 July - East Fortune Airshow (13:15) http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/displays/displaydates.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padayr Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 A few years ago I had a flying lesson from Prestwick and, while flying over Ailsa Craig, got buzzed by the Red Arrows on their way to the Clyde for the launch of some boat. That was fun ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Not really impressed with the Red Arrows. Ooh look we're in austerity but let's pay for 9 guys in non-combative planes for 12 seconds of work, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 The Red Arrows' byline is shite: "We fly wee planes really close together and don't kill each other too often" Having watched them once, though, what they do is f+cking magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 If we get Independence will we get the 'blue and white' arrows ? Salmond needs to be addressing these issues immediately if not sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
