The Virtual Red Arrows are a dedicated team of aviation enthusiasts.

We have a devoted passion for flight simulators and aerobatics. The team was founded in 2005 and performed the first 9 ship formation display LIVE at the Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams in December 2009. Our shows are tailored as closely as possible to the RAF Red Arrows show routines in respect to their dedication and unrivaled skills. We are expanding our own abilities and knowledge this year. The Virtual Red Arrows (VRA) continue to train hard for this season's live shows which will bring never before seen maneuvers to the virtual aerobatic stage.

A Positive Step Forward

The VRA are making a positive step forward after experiencing some disagreements within the team concerning how we should fly this year's show routine. Unfortunately various issues could not be amicably resolved; we are sad to receive the news that 3 of our pilots will be voluntarily leaving us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their services to the VRA and wish them well with their future endeavours.

The remaining members are confident that the new decisions concerning various maneuvers and show dynamics have been made for the good of team. 2009 pilots are now being recalled and we will be intensely training 1-2 new recruits in preparation for our live performances this year. We know it's been a while since we released media showcasing our latest training efforts, we'll be sure to rectify this as soon as possible and keep you updated as always with the latest team developments and progress.
