The RAF Typhoon display team are due to show off their aerobatic skills to crowds of more than 150,000 people as they perform in Canada for the first time.
The team will perform at the Bagotville International Air Show on 22 and 23 June, as part of celebrations for the Royal Canadian Air Force’s centenary year.
The team’s newest pilot, Flight Lieutenant David ‘Turbo’ Turnbull, told Forces News: “It’s awesome the RAF get to send a jet out there.
“Hopefully they’ll enjoy having a Typhoon there as much as I’ll enjoy being there.”
He will be launching the display season with some new manoeuvres.
The team will display alongside the iconic Canadian Forces Snowbirds, who will be operating the historic Canadair CT-114 Tutor, and the US Air Force’s F-35A Demonstration Team flying the fifth-generation fighter F-35A Lightning II.
The Red Arrows also announced they will be taking their display to Canada, to mark the RCAFs 100th anniversary.
They will take part in a series of airshows from late August to September as part of a five-week tour, named Maple Hawk 2024.
