Red Arrows achieve PDA for 2024
The RAF Red Arrows have concluded their six-month training period, culminating with a final assessment known as Public Display Authority (PDA). With preparations complete, the Red Arrows are now starting the 2024 campaign, which will include dozens of shows across the United Kingdom, mainland Europe and Canada.
At Hellenic Air Force base Tanagra, the PDA process was overseen by senior RAF officers – led by Air Officer Commanding No 1 Group, Air Vice-Marshal Mark Flewin CBE MA BEng RAF. Following PDA, the entire team changed into their traditional red and blue flying suits worn during the season.
The team conducted their first public display of 2024 in Athens and will do further shows in Crete and France as the team heads back to RAF Waddington next week.
