AIR DAY 2015: Fantastic display teams to take to the sky

WORLD-CLASS display teams from three nations will headline RNAS Yeovilton Air Day's flying display later this year.

Joining the RAF Red Arrows on Saturday, July 11, 2015, are the Spanish Air Force's Patrulla Águila and the Royal Jordanian Falcons - just part of the international line-up planned to wow visitors to the show.

Patrulla Águila were formed in 1985, so are this year marking their 30th anniversary.

The team's last UK performance was at RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2010, at which it won the best overall flying display award.

Equipped with seven Spanish-built CASA 101 Aviojet training aircraft, Águila's very smooth routine includes several manoeuvres performed by no other team including an impressive formation landing.

The spectacular Royal Jordanian Falcons were formed in 1976 and perform with four Extra EA300L unlimited aerobatic aircraft.

Their mixture of slick precision formation flying and dazzling solo aerobatics has made them an enduring and highly popular airshow act and they have been great supporters of Air Day in recent years.

Having completed their 50th display season last year the Royal Air Force Red Arrows will be sporting a very striking tail design on their nine BAe Hawk T1 jet trainers.

The globally-renowned Red Arrows will once more demonstrate their supreme flying skills in the Somerset skies when they perform at Air Day 2015.

Advance tickets priced at £20 (adults) and £6 (children 5-15 yrs) are available to order from www.royalnavy.mod.uk/yeovilton-airday .
