Red Arrows Make Surprise Comeback at Eastbourne Airbourne

In a stunning turnaround, the Red Arrows are back on the Eastbourne Airbourne bill this August 15. The UK’s top aerobatic team had earlier hinted they’d skip the event, but fans can now rejoice at a one-off, jaw-dropping display before the squad jets off to Canada for their Maple Hawk tour.

One-Day Only Thrill at Eastbourne

Unlike previous years where the Red Arrows wow crowds all four days, this year they’ll only dazzle on Thursday. It’s a rare treat at Eastbourne and part of their packed 2024 schedule, geared up for their 60th anniversary season next year.

Training in Full Swing

The team is currently sharpening their skills at RAF Waddington ahead of a busy season of shows both home and abroad. Their first public performance kicks off in late May, promising excitement from the very start.
