The Virtual Red Arrows were formed in 2005 using Lock On Flaming Cliffs, the predecessor of Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), which we use to fly our display today. We performed our first live show over a decade ago in 2009 at the Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams. Our mission is to replicate The Red Arrows display routines as closely as possible. With respect to their dedication and unrivaled skills, we spend months practicing so we can perform the routines to the highest possible standard. The team consists of 9 active pilots + support staff from different parts of the world who share the same passion for the Red Arrows and formation aerobatics. To help us replicate the display we use market leading equipment supplied by our sponsor Thrustmaster. This includes the famous HOTAS Warthog and the new TPR pendular rudder pedals. The team also use Virtual Reality headsets.
With our first live show in 2009 at the Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams we have since had the pleasure of attending shows such as Virtual Air, Virtual United Air Festivals, Virtual Aviation Nation and much more. In 2019 we were personally invited by the Red Arrows to visit them and demonstrate our routine at RAF Scampton. During the following years of 2020 and 2021, we were privileged enough to fly at the Royal International Air Tattoo's virtual event, "Virtual Air Tattoo" where we flew on behalf of the Red Arrows and commentated beside RED10.
