BC Place celebrates Red Arrows tour with Union Jack lighting
September 26th, 2019
BC Place will light up with the Union Jack tonight to celebrate the Red Arrows tour stop in Vancouver.
Officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows showcase the excellence of the RAF and represent the United Kingdom both at home and overseas. The team consists of 11 pilots, nine of whom fly in the display, and more than 100 support personnel and technicians. The Red Arrows are renowned as one of the world’s premier aerobatic display teams, having performed almost 5,000 times in 57 countries since 1965. This is the first time the Red Arrows have visited the US and Canada in 11 years and will be the most ambitious overseas tour to the region that the Red Arrows have ever undertaken.
