Red Arrows — By the Numbers

Display locations, formation routes, flying days and distances — compiled from data observed to date.

⚠️
Not official Red Arrows statistics — please read before sharing.
These were unofficial figures from data observed to date by this fan site. This was an experimental, work-in-progress feature. The numbers may have contained errors, omissions or inaccuracies — not every Red Arrows flight was captured and some figures may have been understated or incorrect. Everything here should be treated as interesting and indicative, not definitive. - Purely for fun!
