To the dismay of enthusiasts, the Red Arrows flying team will not be able to make it to this year’s edition of the Malta International Airshow. Technical problems encountered by the Red Arrows team, forced the pilots to forfeit their annual appearance in the show. In a press statement the organizing committee said, that despite this absence, the spectacular displays of the Spitfire, Hawk, Tucano and the Italian Military Mission Helicopter that gave a very well co-ordinated search and rescue display, made up for this slight mishap.
