The Red Arrows displayed a spectacular aerial show at the Marina Crescent, Kuwait amid to the thousands of crowd who were spellbound and mesmerized as the Red Hawk with white and blue strips roared the sky and made formation sorties.
The air force aerobatic team of nine men lit up the sky displaying rolls, flying in formation and finally creating a smoke trails in the shape of a heart with an arrow piercing through it.
The Red Arrows currently flies BAE Systems’ Hawk aircraft, and comprises nine display pilots, all of whom are from front-line squadrons. Next year is the 50th display season for the Team, based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, UK and which, since formation, has performed more than 4,500 displays in 54 different countries.
It would have been great if the event would have been over the weekend as many could have attended. I thanked myself, skipping from work and reaching the venue almost in time. I’m not sure if the air show was reduced in time as the initial announcement was scheduled for a hour, but the event curtained in 40 minutes.

Thanks for the lovely images as well the video. Missed the event since I was working.
Nice photographs. The one with both the jets almost colliding was fant-a-a-astic!!!. Where do you stay, can we meet up on photography discussion.
You can send me an email, We surely can meet.
Beautiful pictures, it's been very long since I've seen real sharp aerial images.
The Sigma 120-400 did serve you here to the best. Love the angle of view on couple of pictures.
Thanks. The Sigma 120-400 is an excellent lens when used with good light around.
