The Royal Air Force’s aerial stunt team, the Red Arrows, will fly over Victoria and Vancouver this Thursday.
The team will do a flypast over Victoria’s Inner Harbour before continuing on to Vancouver for an extended flypast near the Vancouver Convention Centre.
In Vancouver, the team will also host a pop-up pavilion at Jack Poole Plaza from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Visitors to the pavilion will be able to meet pilots flying with the Red Arrows and snap a free souvenir photo at the team’s photo booth. A Sopwith Camel, a single-seat biplane fighter aircraft model used during the First World War, will also be on display from the Canadian Museum of Flight, alongside interactive demos from Science World and the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre staff.

The Red Arrows will fly past Victoria’s Parliament buildings around 4:40 p.m. on Thursday, from the northwest to the southeast. The best location to view the flypast is on the grounds of the Parliament buildings or along the Inner Harbour.
The team will continue on to Vancouver where the display can best be seen from Jack Poole Plaza, the Vancouver Convention Centre and Canada Place. The flypast will take place around 5 p.m., with multiple passes planned heading east.
