The Royal Air Force’s (RAF) Red Arrows aerobatic display team has canceled a series of upcoming appearances after delays returning to the UK from a US tour. On August 8, 2026, the RAF said the Red Arrows would not be able to complete displays at Airbourne: Eastbourne International Airshow, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Lyme Regis Lifeboat Week. The RAF explained that a prolonged period of poor weather in the north-eastern regions of Canada, meant the Red Arrows’ return from a tour of the United States was postponed last week. The Red Arrows’ Hawk aircraft have a limited range and cannot carry out air-to-air refueling, so the Atlantic crossing must be done in stages. “Every effort is being made to ensure the Red Arrows can recommence the busy display season as soon as possible.”
