RAF Red Arrows aerobatic team fly past Hollywood sign

Los Angeles-area residents had a chance to see a mini air show as the Royal Air Force Red Arrows aerobatic team tours California.

The team planned to fly past the famed Hollywood sign yesterday afternoon and then head south to the Port of Long Beach to fly over the retired British ocean liner Queen Mary, which is now a tourist attraction and hotel.

On Tuesday, the Red Arrows’ jets flew over San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate.

This weekend, they’ll join the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and other performers at the Great Pacific Airshow over the surf at Huntington Beach.
