Low Red Arrows Flybys Up Beachy Head, Eastbourne Airshow

Were they told to fly that low?

I remember I was in an airshow with my parents when I was 10 years old... I was so scared because how loud these jets was... And I remember the Red Arrows too! With that V formation flying above us red white blue smoke. It was nice to see but I had no idea what the purpose of these aircrafts at that time(and I did not remember too much of it)... All I remember is that loud sound and how scared I was. :D I will be honest I did not enjoyed that too much. I wanted to go home. :D But nowadays things have changed. All I want to see is every single modern fighter jet or military aircrafts in real life. :D I did saw the Red Arrows in London when the Coronation flypast happened. Sadly a cut down version of it with just only helicopters and the Red Arrows and I was very very sad... I wanted to see the C-17 Globemaster the A400M Atlas, the C-130 Hercules, R-135W Rivet Joint, the Poseidon MRA1 I was sooo prepared for that day I remember... :D Ohh the Eurofighter Typhoons and the F-35B... Nevermind. Maybe next time. Iam 27 years old and I can tell you I have never seen these aircrafts in real life(From pictures or from videos its not the same experience). Only the Red Arrows for now. :D Anyways nice video mate! :D

Quality

It's not the same with them flying with only 7 this year. Investigations into 'toxic culture', boozing, resignations, half the flight hating the other half. One of them clearing off with someone else's wife. The best display team in the world has been badly let down by its members this year.

We went to see the Red Arrows at Eastbourne yesterday and the display was nowhere near as impressive as in the past. Only 7 aircraft and the display was a long way out to sea. Safety measures have once again RUINED something spectacular, just the same as has happened in motorsport.

Possibly the greatest air display video ever

Your thumbnail editing skills are so bad, were you using windows paint? Lmao

Imagine having a Hawk jet to just nip around in...just going to the beach for a couple hours...but the beach is 30 miles away....yeah its ok, taking the hawk, be there in 5 mins

I’m fortunate enough to live only 2 miles from where they are based in RAF Scampton and they fly over our house almost every day and practice all of their manoeuvers

I've just seen five of them from our garden. I think I jumped. It was very cool.

That was the worst filming of the Red Arrows I've ever seen

Im watching right now from the fillfines yehey

WE sat in front of you for this with our border collie "Nell"! I'll never forget it... you could feel the downdraught and smell the fuel!!

🌹👍🌹🇦🇺🇦🇺💪❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🌹👍🌹

Got to wait till next year to see them fly over beachy head again

Sadly under the new display rules things like this are no longer allowed, the distance changes are quite harsh .

Brilliant 👏

Being under a Red Arrows display always makes me glad I am British.

I wonder if Airbourne will ever come back?

Got to love the Reds. Best endorsement from my missus who has 0 interest in aviation on seeing the Reds for the first time a few years back...."Amazing! I've never, ever seen anything like that before". Takes a lot to impress the wife, so well done lads! Great video! I must get to Beach Head some time for a show.

awesome inspiring and BRITISH!!!

Normal.-_-

They went over my house lol

A good video made underwhelming by the clickbait thumbnail.

Fabulous!...is there a better viewing point than this?

I've only seen the Red Arrows once, and it was fantastic, made extra special because they were viewd from up on the hills above the Dartmouth River, which they flew along very low. The sound echoing from the valley below was exceptional. It was a beautiful summer evening, and we gorged on Pig Roast, that a local farmer had gifted to the watching crowds; and with plenty of Cider.

This is epic! Greetings from South Dakota, USA

I amglad to say we were ther that day my wife who had lived in the UK in another life had wanted to see airbourne and we did an amazing air display and to see the Vulcan bomber wow

I have had my name on a red arrow’s wing

Fucking WOW

Thought in the interests of safety display aircraft were not allowed to fly that low over the public. But I love it.

That’s nothing!!!!! We,v seen it lower than that!!!! In Weston super mare!!!!

Superb footage, from this most unusual perspective...

Forty years ago the same Hawks in the same colours and now the pilots grandkids are flying them.

And people still ask why secondary crowds are a thing. Until you've been stood in a field in the middle of a large airshow display, you will never know the joy!

I don’t know why but the Blue Angels seem more arrow dinamic you know? And please don’t science the hell out of me in the comments I still think the Red Arrows are slightly better than the Blue Angels cause they have a lot more stunt planes but... yeah..

Where's the clip from the close up still you use in the thumbnail??

Won’t be long until some fucktard HSE dribbling mong puts a stop to this

All display teams look up to the RAF red arrows,best in the world👍👍

❤

To be honest, I think the Reds might be pretty upset with this. If that was an "airshow crowd" then that would be illegal flying. This has been a loophole for some time, in that "unofficial" crowds weren't factored into display lines. After the tragedy at Shoreham that has changed, and I I suspect the ultra-professional reds will be re-risk assessing this kind of thing and I doubt you'll see them this low over the crowds at this point again in future.
Kind of sad, I know, but that's the way of the world.

Don't normally see them that low

That looks fucking awesome!!!!!

25 dislikes......Goons!!!

The Red Arrows doing what they do best = entertaining us and long may they continue to do so now and forever more

I went to one today but the red arrow got canceled.

Ah, the good old days of air shows with planes flying over the crowd before the health & safety brigade took over, all because of one pilot's mistake at Shoreham.

I've seen the Red Arrows at Eastbourne many times but always from the seafront. Then in 2008, we decided to watch from Beachy Head as I was heavily pregnant and wanted to avoid the crowds and realised it was actually the best viewing point. Haven't seen them at Eastbourne since as we moved later that year. Great memories.

One of the harsh things in life is growing up and losing the wonder of things that only come from being a kid , but even now when I see the red arrows live they still fill me with the same wonderment and excitement as when I was a kid going to see them every year at ards air show 🇬🇧🇬🇧
