The Typhoon is the UK's only jet demo and August/early Sept is a very busy time here. I'm sure the Typhoon will stay at home.

The Snowbirds also perform many head on breaks including one where they roll while pointing straight at the crowd. I don't think the Reds will be too different in that respect. I have always wondered how the Snowbirds are not found to violate the rules, but I'm quite happy with the show they're permitted!Bingofuel wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 4:40 pm From the Eastbourne Airshow FB page...
"We can confirm the RAF Red Arrows will be missing Airbourne 2019, along with all UK airshows from the end of July through to September due to their largest ever tour of North America. We wish the team well in this exciting new tour, and look forward to welcoming them back to Eastbourne in 2020"
Wow that's longer than I'd thought! None of this confirmed so far of course, but unless they plan to do another "Non-UK" show in early August before coming over to NA, perhaps they're headed over early August?
It'll be interesting to see how they conform to current North American Airshow regulations i.e. Energy directed at the crowd. The Red's typical airshow involves quite a few head-on crowd breaks.
Not quite - their last display in the UK is expected to be RIAT which is 19th-21st July. They may well depart the UK during July but the actual tour will only begin in August.Bingofuel wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 4:40 pm From the Eastbourne Airshow FB page...
