(4K) Royal Air Force Red Arrows Visit Hamilton Airport + Flyover Niagara Falls

Hello everyone! Welcome to the video!

Presenting the Royal Air Force Red Arrows with another stop on their Maple Hawk- Canada Tour to help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

On September 11th, 2024, the Royal Air Force (RAF) Red Arrows made a historic visit to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM) in Hamilton, Ontario for a unique photo opportunity with their Avro Lancaster. The team would then fuel up, depart and participate in a unique photo flight with the Lancaster over Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls before continuing onto London for their next and final show at Airshow London 2024.

The Royal Air Force Red Arrows arrived just after 1140 local time as ‘SAK1’ flight with the 9-ship of Hawks executing an incredible ‘spaghetti break’ over RWY 12 in Hamilton before landing. They then parked in front of the museum to a huge crowd- at least 1,000 people!

While their aircraft were being fueled, the team participated in a photo with the museums’s Avro Lancaster on the ground, along with their crew before heading away on a briefing to discuss the afternoon’s planned activities.

At around 1420 local time, Royal Air Force Red Arrows SAK1 took off RWY 30 from Hamilton and flew out to Lake Ontario north of St. Catharines for a photo flight with the Lancaster for around half an hour. It was then the two headed south to Niagara Falls where we were waiting for them but I found the Lancaster and the team were kind of far from each other once they passed the Falls to the south west to east. The Lancaster headed off after one slight pass and the Red Arrows continued, executing five incredible passes from the north and south before picking up flight following towards London for their next and final show on the tour.

All the best and enjoy the video 😎🤟

They flew over my place in Beamsville and I opened up FlightRadar to follow them and the RA kept disappearing/reappearing on the app and then it said they were on the ground in St. Catharines. Weird
