Reds are Back for all FOUR Days at Eastbourne

Visitors to the World’s Biggest FREE Seafront Airshow will have four chances to see crowd favourite the Red Arrows in 2009 as the famous fast jets with their red, white and blue smoke formations will display on every day of Airbourne.

This year the iconic red jets will zoom through Eastbourne skies over the beautiful seafront setting on all four days of the seaside airshow entertaining crowds with their breathtaking loops and twists overhead. With Bournemouth only seeing three appearances from the Red Arrows, visitors to Eastbourne will not only be treated to four incredible flying formations but will also get a rare opportunity to greet the Reds arena-side on Saturday 15 August as they touch down in Eastbourne for a special ground appearance.

Eastbourne Borough Council Cabinet Member for Tourism, Cllr Susan Morris said “The Red Arrows are a brilliant draw for any airshow but to have these world renowned jets on all four days is absolutely fantastic news and makes Eastbourne Airbourne the must see event of the summer. With Airbourne’s beautiful beach front setting and Eastbourne’s record sunshine hours, the event is the highlight of the resort’s calendar attracting thousands of visitors every year.”

Other displays confirmed for Airbourne 2009 when it returns from 13-16 August, include the F16, the US Fighting Falcon, plus the Eurofighter Typhoon making it a truly international event. With rival resort Bournemouth seeing a lack in international flying displays, Eastbourne is keen to uphold its reputation as the biggest international seafront airshow.

Visitors to Airbourne can also look forward to the welcome return of the Guinot Wingwalkers who amaze spectators with their daredevil displays, plus the Blades Aerobatic Formation Team, famous for flying at prestigious events including the Beckham’s pre-World Cup Party.

With plenty of entertainment on the ground too, including action-packed arena demonstrations, trade stands, children’s beach entertainment, full size replica aircraft and the chance to chat to the RAF Careers Team; Airbourne makes a packed day out for any visitor.

Plus with even more flying displays still to be added to the 2009 line up, Airbourne 2009 promises to be a bumper show, with plenty going on to keep everyone entertained all from the stunning setting of Eastbourne seafront.
