Airbourne crowd favourite, the Red Arrows, are back and once again set to impress as they perform spectacular aerobatics and dynamic flying formations at Eastbourne airshow 2008.Organisers of the event, Eastbourne Borough Council, are excited to announce the line up for this year’s Airbourne, with the Red Arrows appearing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hailed as the biggest seafront airshow in the world, the fast jets will be joined by the RAF Typhoon, Hawk, Tucano and Tutor, as the RAF celebrate their 90th anniversary when Airbourne returns from 14-17 August 2008.

Eastbourne Borough Council Spokesperson for Tourism, Cllr Steve Wallis said “The line up for this year’s Airbourne already looks huge and it’s great that Eastbourne airshow attracts such top flights and performers. Airbourne looks set for a bumper programme of flying displays in 2008, and with action packed ground displays, replica aircraft and other attractions in the pipeline, Airbourne promises to keep the whole family entertained this August.”

Other displays confirmed for 2008 include the welcome return of the Guinnot Wingwalkers. Spectators will watch in wonder as they perform their dare devil antics over all four days of the show.

Airbourne fans will already be on tenterhooks waiting for this year’s event as they look forward to the best of the RAF plus civilian and military performers. Returning in August, Airbourne enthusiasts can relive last year’s airshow with an interactive DVD available now from www.visiteastbourne.com and the Tourist Information Centre.

With even more acrobatic performers still to be added to the line up, Airbourne 2008 is set to be a spectacular show. Kids can climb aboard replica aircraft on the ground and talk to the RAF Careers Team, and Mums and Dads can chill out and enjoy a cool refreshment while watching top class flying displays, all from the stunning location of Eastbourne seafront.
