Red Arrows to display at Radom Airshow 2025: A Spectacular Return After 16 Years
After a 16-year hiatus, the Royal Air Force's Red Arrows are set to grace the skies of Radom once again. The iconic aerobatic team will be performing at the 2025 Radom International Airshow, marking their first display in the Polish city since 2009. This highly anticipated return is sure to thrill aviation enthusiasts and spectators alike, bringing a dose of nostalgia and excitement to one of Poland’s most celebrated aviation events.
The Red Arrows are no strangers to Poland, though their appearances here have been rare in recent years. Their last show on Polish soil came in 2021 at the Gdynia Aerobatic Airshow, where they left crowds buzzing with their precision flying and daring maneuvers. But Radom is a different story—a venue that holds a special place in the team’s history. Their return to this city after such a long gap feels like a homecoming, reconnecting them with a stage that’s seen some of their most unforgettable performances.

The Radom International Airshow itself is a big deal in the aviation world. Held every two years in the city of Radom, it’s been a fixture since 2000, steadily growing into one of Poland’s top aviation showcases. Military jets, civilian aircraft, and aerobatic teams from across Europe and beyond flock to this event, turning Warsaw-Radom Airport into a hub of high-flying action. The 2025 edition, set for August 30-31, is already shaping up to be a standout, with the Red Arrows’ inclusion adding a serious jolt of star power to the lineup.
For those who live and breathe aviation, the Red Arrows need little introduction. Officially the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, they’ve been wowing audiences since 1965. They fly the BAE Systems Hawk T1, a British-built trainer that’s been a mainstay of the RAF since the 1970s. Don’t let the “trainer” label fool you—the Hawk’s agility and reliability make it a perfect fit for the kind of jaw-dropping displays the Red Arrows are famous for. Painted in that bold red livery with the Union Jack on the tail, these jets cut through the sky trailing red, white, and blue smoke, leaving no doubt about who’s up there.
So, what can fans expect when the Red Arrows take flight over Radom? Their shows typically run about 20 to 30 minutes, packed with tight formations and manoeuvres that show off the pilots’ razor-sharp skills. Picture the Diamond Nine formation—a classic in their playbook—or those heart-stopping opposition passes where the jets scream past each other with what looks like inches to spare. It’s all a masterclass in precision and teamwork, the kind of stuff that reminds you why military aviation demands the best of the best. The details of their 2025 routine are still under wraps, but you can bet they’ll bring that signature mix of elegance and edge that’s kept them at the top of the aerobatic game for decades.
Beyond the thrills, the Red Arrows carry a bigger mission. They’re ambassadors for the RAF, putting the service’s skill and professionalism on display for the world to see. Every loop, roll, and smoke trail is a nod to the training and dedication that define the Royal Air Force. For aviation buffs, it’s a chance to see a piece of living history—60 years of tradition wrapped up in a high-octane package.
The Red Arrows’ return to Radom isn’t just another slot on the airshow schedule; it’s a moment for the aviation community to come together. For some, it’ll spark memories of watching those red jets carve up the sky back in 2009. For others—maybe the younger crowd or first-timers—it’s a shot at experiencing something they’ve only heard about from the die-hards. Either way, when those Hawk T1s roar into action over Radom in August, it’ll be a celebration of everything that makes airshows like this so special: the machines, the pilots, and the sheer passion that keeps us all looking up.
