Red Arrows at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum 

I’m English and have travelled all over the USA ,the American people are nicest I’ve ever met , also the food is great too, thanks for making our Red Arrows welcome ,

A trick : you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

@Ian Grayson yea, have been using Flixzone} for years myself :)

It was fun to watch them come in. Thank you for watching.

@@MarkTheLostTraveler big love from London, bro 😘

@@unbearifiedbear1885 Big love back to you. Thank you for watching.

Your welcome. Thank you for watching.

Always fun to get up close to different aircraft if you have a chance. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching.

@@MarkTheLostTraveler, 👍 cheers Mark.

Would of been nice to see them fly but a least I got to talk with them. Thank s for watching.

You pretty much said what I was about to say. I am with you on brexit by the way ;-)

Thank you for that info. Very good to know and thank you for watching.

Today known as Cobham Plc but in earlier times--On 7th August 1949, Cobham pilots Tom Marks and Pat Hornidge flew a Lancaster tanker and a Meteor receiver, to set a world jet endurance record of 12 hours 3 minutes.

@@Wahian1 Even before WWII ended Halifax tankers were able to refuel Lancaster and Lincoln bombers for use in the Pacific. USAF B-29s set a world record (Lucky Lady II) in 1949 after having Cobham kit fitted so they could refuel in the air and fly round the world.

Thank you Archie for watching.

Thanks for the info on the pilots. Thank you for watching.

They were a very nice group of people to meet. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for all the info. Very nice people to talk with and thanks for watching.

Same we were so excited to see them come in and take off but sadly the clouds covered it

@@LordPotato690 those damm clouds ruined this flyover for these Red Arrows hawk jets but I met with a British Female flight instructor about these type of aircraft that the Red Arrows flew!

@@danielmendoza355 I met all of them and they were awesome but the dang clouds I was angry when I couldn’t see them

@@LordPotato690 oh yes that's a true experience you had and of course I was angry too when these stupid clouds cover the sky not letting these red arrows to do a fly over

Thank you for watching and sharing that information.

Its true; the edict did not specify that it had to be serviceable fuse.......

Only 3 the rest of them where at Andrews air force base. Thank you for watching.

@@gml6040 you can't beat the Red Arrows. They are incredible pilots. The displays are fabulous!!

Why do you want more modern jets? Would it make any difference to the display?

@@BP-kx2ig no. I am sure it wouldn't

@@BP-kx2ig probably would have been able to fly straight home to Old Blighty non stop with some of these newer jets though.

The obvious reasons the Hawks have flight refuelling probes (or can have them, depending on the exact mark and model) is that they need to be flown great distances, and to teach pilots how to refuel in flight.

Yeah I’m not sure why I said spitfire but it’s a P 40 and thank you for watching

I thought it was a Hawker Typhoon

They CAN be, they're standby if required.

The Hawks are small unarmed trainers, not front-line fighters.

The French Patrouille de France used to display as an 11-ship formation, and the Black Arrows (one of the precursor teams to the Red Arrows) once flew, looped and rolled a 22-ship formation of Hawker Hunters. It's here on youtube. That was back when many front-line squadrons in the RAF had their own display teams. The Firebirds, Card Four, the Pelicans, the Yellowjacks... The USAF once had several teams as well: the Minutemen, the Golden Hawks, the Thunder Jets and more. Most teams around the world have four to six planes, the Frecce Tricolori had up to ten planes, Blue Impulse of Japan have had six or four over the decades, the India team have four, I believe, while the Patrouille Suisse usually had six. The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force team has four of their latest fighters. To be sure of having 9 planes on display, the Red Arrows routinely have ten or eleven planes available. It's more difficult to achieve that level of serviceability away from home, so I believe they took all 11 to the USA.

The one at Dulles is the best one. Thanks for watching

Thank you.

Crazy English words lol.Thank you for watching.
