Video: Red Arrows flyby at the Statue of Liberty

redarrowsflyby.jpg


The Royal Air Force's Red Arrows aerobatic team just made a visit from the UK to make a flyby of the Statue of Liberty. Check out NewYorkology's video.



The Red Arrows fly BAE Systems Hawk T1s, which can reach speeds up to Mach 1.2.

This evening they flew near the Verrazano Bridge for about 20 minutes, then along Staten Island and up past the Statue of Liberty toward Manhattan. They turned around, headed back to Manhattan and then went back for one more pass above Liberty Island.
