The Blades Aerobatic display team
One of the largest airshows in the world, Farnborough International Airshow 2012 proved to be a week of success for The Blades Aerobatic display team. Throughout the seven days the Team flew eight displays. With over 30,000 hours of flying between them, The Blades are amongst the most experienced display pilots in the UK. Add to the fact that all are former RAF fast-jet pilots and all are former Red Arrows and it is little wonder that their display is renowned world-wide and very much in demand. The Blades fly Extra EA-300s. They are low-wing, high performance aircraft designed for the most adventurous aerobatic manoeuvres and created with advanced aerobatic flying in mind
