The reds don't have a solo hawk, they have synchro pair, these 2 (REDS 5 & 7) have to keep their timings more exact than the remainder of the team but also keep formation well too as they make the 2 points on Delta formation, formation then changes to another while 5 & 7  line up for the Synchro display (BTW Synchro meaning Synchronised) :hrmm:

I too am willing to help out with training if anything is needed. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Experience includes:
- Real-world private pilot
- Former virtual Air Traffic Controller
- Former USAF Thunderbirds Commander/Leader for the Virtual United States Air Forces
- VA Squadron Leader experience for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft squadrons and command executive officer
- Former virtual flight instructor

I'm also good for smacking heads every now and then :hrmm:

Does the Red Arrows have some sort of large aircraft slot? Like the Blue Angels and Fat Albert. I'm not too keen on being a regular performance pilot, but I would like being the unique "big guy" :hrmm:

unfortunately not, the reds consist of 9 Display hawks and 2 spare hawks, the spares are flown by the display pilots in case of lets say a birdstrike on approach into the display.

RED6 - Edge will lead the REDS until 1st September as I am leaving for India on Saturday on holiday.
