EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic BAe Systems Hawks of the RAF Red Arrows taxying out in preparation for their awe-inspiring display at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) held at RAF Fairford in July 2007. The image features XX264, a Hawk T.Mk.1 Red Arrow jet, which has been an integral part of the team since their conversion to Hawks in November 1979. The Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force's prestigious aerobatics team, are renowned for their breathtaking formations and daring maneuvers. The team's Hawks, manufactured by British Aerospace Systems (now BAE Systems), are specially modified for their unique display routines. In this photograph, the Red Arrows' meticulous precision is evident as they line up on the tarmac, ready to take to the skies. The Red Arrows' history with the Hawk dates back to 1979, when they replaced their older Hunters with the more advanced Hawks. Since then, these versatile jets have been the backbone of the team's aerial ballet, showcasing the pinnacle of British aviation engineering and skill. This photograph is a testament to the enduring partnership between the RAF Red Arrows and BAE Systems, as well as the rich history of aviation in the United Kingdom. The Red Arrows' displays continue to thrill audiences around the world, inspiring a new generation of aviation enthusiasts and pilots.
