Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team Comes to Doha
Update: The airshow starts at 2:15pm on the Doha corniche, from the Sheraton side. Please tweet your pics using #qatarliving
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, is to display in Doha on November 7 as part of a major Middle East tour.
The team is also expected to perform at Al Ain, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Oman. Visits will also be made to Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
It is hoped thousands of people will watch the Red Arrows during the five-week tour of the region.
Those at the displays will see the Team’s distinctive red jets perform a series of precision formations and dynamic loops and rolls.
Officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows represent the United Kingdom and have been thrilling crowds, at home and overseas, since the 1960s.
Squadron Leader Jim Turner, Team Leader of the Red Arrows, said:
“It is a huge honour and privilege to have been invited to the Middle East and have the opportunity to perform our display in so many wonderful locations.
“We take great pride and pleasure in being able to demonstrate our flying in all of these places – some of which we have never visited before, while others we are very pleased to be afforded the opportunity to return to.
“Just as countless others have already done in 2013, I hope people, in all of the locations we will be flying to, will come to the display, watch our aerobatics and enjoy the experience.”
