In
2008 the Red Arrows made a 3 stop tour to North America. I was
able to see them in Quebec City and Quonset Point, Rhode Island. They put on a fantastic show. |

The
team starts the show with a burst of red, white, and blue smoke. |
|

|
Takeoff
is in 3 sections of 3, 2, and 4. |

After
forming up the flying part of the show starts with the team approaching
the crowd from behind. |

The
Red Arrows are constantly rolling and changing formations. |

In
the second half of the show the team breaks up into separate groups.
This provides lots of head-on pass shots. |

The
team makes great use of colored (coloured?) smoke. Each aircraft
has 1 minute of red smoke, 1 minute of blue smoke, and 4 minutes of
white smoke. |
