The RAF Red Arrows in Equestria

The Red Arrows. Introduction about them. And the character who will be in this story.

The Red Arrows, officials the Royal Air Force Aerobic Team, is the world's greatest display team. That's a bold statement but everywhere they go their precision displays and skillful flying in their distinctive bright red Hawks draws enormous crowds. They top the billing all over the world promotion British industry, representing the Royal Air Force and giving great entertainment.

The public face is nine pilots flying their aircraft but behind the scenes there is an organization of more then 100 people. The pilots wear red flying suits and ground crew wear blue.

There is red 10 who coordinated the season, flies the spare aircraft and commenates at the air show. The 'Blue' are fitter, engineers, airframe specialist drivers, photographers, people who look after g-suits and survival equipment and team responsible for the dye that produces the smoke trails is the 'circus' nine engineers who fly in the back seat of the hawks to every display to look after the aircraft while away from base. There is flight operations, planning, administration and public reaction.

A team like this has kept the Red Arrows in forefront of British aviation for almost 50 years. The pilots live and breathe flying, working in an intense atmosphere where their first mistake could be their last. The support team keep the aircraft flying with the knowledge that ok isn't good enough.

Every aircraft has to be perfect shape for every display. The result is spectacular and hopefully the Red Arrows will go on for another 50 years.
