In 1989, the Royal Air Force's Red Arrows celebrated their 25th anniversary with a series of special events and displays. The highlight was a commemorative airshow at RAF Scampton, the team's home base, where they performed alongside other renowned aerobatic teams, including Italy's Frecce Tricolori and Spain's Patrulla Aguila. The event featured a diverse lineup of aircraft, such as the BAe Hawk T.1A, which had been the team's primary display aircraft since 1979. The anniversary celebrations were captured in various media, including the BBC documentary "25 Years of the Red Arrows" and the video "RAF Scampton, 25th Anniversary of The Red Arrows airshow, 1989." Designed to meet an RAF requirement for a fast trainer to replace the Folland Gnat, the BaE Hawk first flew on August 21, 1974. This tandem two-seat aircraft has a distinctive appearance, with the front seat positioned below the rear seat so that the instructor has a clear view of the student's cockpit. The Hawk is subsonic in level flight but can achieve Mach 1.15 in a dive, giving trainees the experience of supersonic flight. Hawks are expensive to produce but durable and maneuverable enough to be used for combat. The Hawk is in use in 18 different nations, and is still in production today. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
