Red Arrows America 2026
The RAF Red Arrows are touring the United States in summer 2026 — six stops across the East Coast and Midwest, from Baltimore's Inner Harbour to the world's largest airshow at Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The 2026 US tour is one of the most ambitious overseas deployments in the Red Arrows' recent history — six appearances across five states over the course of a month. Tours of this scale serve a dual purpose: showcasing British aviation excellence to international audiences, and supporting the UK government's wider diplomatic and trade engagement.
The timing — centred on America's 250th independence anniversary celebrations (Sail 250) — gives the tour particular significance. The Red Arrows appeared at the 4th of July International Aerial Review over New York City and at the Sail 250 Baltimore airshow, both forming part of the official US semiquincentennial programme.
The team is led in 2026 by Wing Commander Sasha Nash — the first woman to command the Red Arrows — making this tour historically notable both for its scale and its leadership.
Tracking the Red Arrows while they're stateside works differently from the UK. There are no UK CAA NOTAMs — instead, the FAA publishes its own NOTAM system, and airshow display times come from the event organisers directly. This site's NOTAM tracker will not show US routes, but the live flight tracking apps work just as well.
