I assume representatives of the RAF Red Arrows were at the recent ICAS Convention in Las Vegas. If so, did they give any indications of their dates/sites for their upcoming 2019 North American Tour?

It's getting pretty late as most shows have for months locked in their dates to accommodate other assets.

Cheers,

Yes, they were at ICAS (several teams member posted photos from Vegas on Twitter) but no announcements were made that I know.

According to the ICAS website the Red Arrows will perform in:

Aug 17-18: Chicago, IL
Aug 21: Atlantic City, NJ
Aug 24-25: New Windsor, NY
Aug 31-Sep 1: Toronto, ON
Sep 7-8: St. Louis, MO
Sep 20-22: Hillsboro, OR
Oct 4-6: Huntington Beach, CA

The open weekends in Sep likely to be filled with west coast shows. The official announcement is tomorrow UK time, in just a few hours.

"Other public events, display locations and flypasts are still to be set, with engagement opportunities planned from coast-to-coast. Further announcements will follow as confirmations are made."

Tom, it looks like they may have an opening on the 3rd and 4th of August.

The Reds arrive several days after Thunder is over. It's unfortunate the timing did not work out. However, the 2019 TOM show has its massive F4U Corsair gathering which will be to be a huge hit for the expected record breaking crowds. For you people who get to see the Red Arrows, your in for a real treat!

Cheers,
