Red Arrows take America

Cameras follow the Royal Air Force's aerial display team as they embark upon an ambitious tour of some of the biggest airshows in the United States and Canada.
The iconic Red Arrows are heading to North America for three months of displays at destinations including New York, Toronto and Chicago. They'll be teaming up with two of their biggest competitors in world aerobatics: the US Navy's Blue Angels and the US Air Force's Thunderbirds. Flying together will be a challenge. But, with a maximum 90-minutes flying time before refuelling, getting 12 Hawk jets across the Atlantic in the first place will be a monumental task - even without the 100-strong support team and 50 tons of vital equipment.
