EDITORS COMMENTS
The Eastern Hawk Tour of the Middle East was a remarkable display of friendship and camaraderie between the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, known as the Red Arrows, and the Jordanian people. This print captures a momentous occasion as the Red Arrows soar over southern Jordan's arid and barren landscape. As part of their tour, the RAF's renowned display team flew across this desert kingdom, leaving behind trails of distinctive smoke that painted an awe-inspiring picture against the vast expanse below. The crowds gathered at iconic landmarks like Petra and Kerak Castle to witness this breathtaking spectacle firsthand. This event not only showcased the exceptional aerobatic skills of these highly trained pilots but also symbolized the enduring ties between two historic air forces –the Royal Air Force and Royal Jordanian Air Force. It was a testament to their shared commitment to cooperation and mutual respect. In this photograph taken by SAC Hannah Smoker, we can see how these vibrant red Hawks navigate through the clear blue skies above Jordan's ancient wonders. The image encapsulates both power and grace as they effortlessly maneuver through formations with precision. This print serves as a reminder of an extraordinary journey undertaken by these skilled aviators in celebration of unity among nations.
