Red Arrows 2026 Display Schedule
Every confirmed Red Arrows display, flypast and airshow appearance for the 2026 season — UK, United States and Europe.
🇺🇸 Red Arrows United States Tour 2026
The Red Arrows are returning to the United States in summer 2026 for their most extensive American tour in years — 13 appearances across six events spanning the east coast and midwest. For many American aviation fans, this will be a first chance to see Britain's world-famous aerobatic team perform live.
The tour opens with Airshow Baltimore, Maryland on 27–28 June, before a ceremonial flypast at the International Aerial Review in New York City on 4 July — part of the Sail 250 celebrations marking 250 years of American independence. The team then moves to Jones Beach, New York (5–6 July) for the FourLeaf Air Show, followed by the Great State of Maine Airshow at Brunswick Executive Airport (11–12 July).
The midwest leg begins with Thunder Over Michigan at Willow Run Airport, Ypsilanti (17–19 July) before the tour concludes at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Wisconsin (24–26 July) — one of the largest airshows in the world, attracting over half a million visitors each year.
New to the Red Arrows? The team flies nine BAE Systems Hawk T1 jets (seven for standard displays in 2026) in close formation, performing a 20–25 minute aerobatic routine using red, white and blue coloured smoke. Displays are fast, loud and flown at low level — expect wingtip separations of just a few feet at speeds up to 450 knots.
