How does someone get a ride in a Red Arrow? I have seen them do it on the TV, Blue Peter eg.?
Answers:
Very difficult to attain. I'm in the RAF, been in for 5 1/2 years. I was on a Jaguar Sqn for 3 1/2 of those years and didn't get a ride in the back seat of a Jaguar :-(. I've been up in transports and helicopters, but not fast Jets. It's still a sore point for me, Put 3 1/2 years of hard, loyal work as an engineer and I don't even get a ride in one :-(
Try writing to Jim'll Fix It.
Trust me it is nigh on impossible, I have been involved with the ATC for about 11 years and never known a cadet to get a flight with the Reds, UAS for 3 years and the same result there. I doubt a member of the public will get a flight with them to be honest. You're actually interested not some overpaid TV presenter!
It is true what ech11 say, but if your father is a pilot in the Air Force and your mother is an ATC you won't have a problem like me. I didn't fly in a Red Arrow but flew alot with my father in a Impala which is almost similar to a Red Arrow but is just faster.
write to the tv station they might know who to contact
If you aren't a celebrity,a newsperson or a politician,forget it.
i saw it on blue peter aswell. they are allowed because they are a celebrity.
