Seeing the Red Arrows around Newcastle upon Tyne

The Great North Run flypast over the finish line at South Shields brings the Red Arrows to Tyneside most years, and the team sometimes transits the area en route to Scottish or northern events.

Common viewing spots

The Tyne bridges, the Quayside and the Baltic area give the classic Great North Run flypast views. For transits, the higher ground at the Angel of the North and the Town Moor give wider horizons.
