The Royal Navy Sea Vixen has been confirmed for Torbay Airshow as part of Saturday’s programme
A full-time civilian aerobatic display team based in the UK and made up entirely of former RAF Red Arrows pilots, The Blades, will be attending the airshow. Renowned worldwide for flying close formation aerobatics to the highest level within a dynamic and cutting edge display, The Blades currently hold a world record in formation looping.
The world’s only aerobatic formation wingwalking team, Breitling Wingwalkers, will join the impressive line up taking to the skies over the weekend.
Also attending are the Yakovlevs flying the world’s most powerful Yak 52, known as the Super 52. This world championship aerobatic aircraft is much loved for its sparkling performance, grace and precision formation flying.
The Twister Aerobatic Team will wow crowds with their wingtip pyrotechnics. Each aircraft also features high powered spot lamps to illuminate the display smoke.
British jet-powered training and light-attack aircraft, the Strikemaster will also take to the skies. The BAC Strikemaster will be piloted by Mark Petrie, a former RAF pilot who now flies the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with British Airways.
The Gyro flying display, also known as a Gyrocopter or Gyroplane, can also be seen over the weekend. This unusual aircraft is great to watch and is described by the pilots as fun to fly. The rotor blades of the gyro are completely freewheeling in flight, being driven solely by the air going up through the rotor disk.
This year will be the first time Torbay has held an airshow and over 150,000 visitors are expected to watch the action unfold over the weekend.
