Cottesmore: A Spectacular Showcase of Aviation Excellence Located in the heart of England, Cottesmore Airfield has become synonymous with aviation brilliance. Home to a diverse range of aircraft and renowned for its impressive displays, this airfield never fails to captivate both enthusiasts and casual observers alike. One cannot mention Cottesmore without acknowledging the iconic BAe Systems Hawks RAF Red Arrows. These magnificent jets grace the skies with their precision formations, leaving spectators in awe as they paint vibrant trails across the canvas above. But it's not just about aerobatics at Cottesmore; it is also a hub for military prowess. The mighty Tornado formation takes center stage here, showcasing the power and agility that these warplanes possess. Their thunderous roars reverberate through the air, reminding us of their vital role in defending our skies. For those interested in reconnaissance capabilities, look no further than the IAI Searcher 723.

The Aero L-39ZO Albatros 135 adds an element of elegance to Cottesmore's fleet. With its sleek design and graceful maneuvers, this jet trainer leaves onlookers mesmerized by its beauty and finesse. Amongst all these remarkable aircraft stands out one particular gem - Antonov An-30B 81 Yellow. Its distinctive yellow hue catches everyone's attention as it soars gracefully overhead during special events or training exercises. SOCATA TBM-700 series also finds a home at Cottesmore airfield – two notable variants being SOCATA TBM-700 159 - ABU and SOCATA TBM-700 160 - ABV. These versatile turboprop planes showcase exceptional speed and efficiency while providing comfort for passengers traveling within or beyond British borders.
