Will the Red Arrows return to the Midlands in 2026? Iconic team back in UK skies

Despite missing some summer events after being stranded abroad, the Red Arrows are back in the UK and there are still plenty of opportunities to see the team in action.

While there are no Midlands events currently planned, aviation fans in the region can still make the trip to a number of Red Arrows displays taking place elsewhere across the UK over the coming weeks.

After returning to the UK, the aerobatic team has resumed its packed summer schedule, with displays planned across the country and overseas.

Wing Cdr Sasha Nash said: "It is great to be home and to now be in a position to perform at the rest of the summer events planned this season. The Red Arrows can't wait to display for aviation fans and families."

The team's return comes after its major tour of the United States to mark 250 years since the War of Independence, including a display in New York City on Independence Day.
