The BAE Systems Hawk T1 in Red Arrows livery — the iconic red display jets of Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team — captured as an RC EDF scale model.
About
The Red Arrows are the Royal Air Force's official aerobatic display team, formed in 1965 and based at RAF Scampton (later RAF Waddington) in Lincolnshire, England. Since 1979 the team has flown the BAE Systems (originally Hawker Siddeley) Hawk T1, a tandem-seat advanced jet trainer that first flew in 1974 and entered RAF service in 1976. The Hawk replaced the Folland Gnat that the Red Arrows had flown from 1965 to 1979, and the type has been the team's display aircraft ever since.
The Red Arrows' scarlet-painted Hawks are one of the most recognized aircraft liveries in the world — performing approximately 60 displays per year across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with the team's Diamond Nine formation and the trademark colored smoke trails of the Red, White, and Blue smoke pots that fit beneath the Hawk's tailpipe. The Red Arrows are one of only a handful of military display teams in the world (alongside the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the French Patrouille de France, and the Italian Frecce Tricolori) that fly purpose-equipped jets at the level the Red Arrows operate at.
The Red Arrows Hawk silhouette — slim, swept-wing, side-intake — is one of the most-modeled jet display aircraft subjects in modern RC EDF scale flying.
In the simulator
A demanding display jet that captures the personality of the real Red Arrows Hawk. Use it for jet pattern flying with the iconic display-team livery. A natural sibling of the Red Arrows with smoke variant in this same pack — same airframe, same livery, with the addition of a smoke system for display flying.
