Spectacular tandem aerial display by American and British military jets leaves New Yorkers in awe


The spectacular moment is captured when New Yorkers were left in awe of a tandem aerial display from American and British military jets on Thursday (August 22) morning.

The Red Arrows of Britain's Royal Air Force joined the US Air Force Thunderbirds for a historic aerial parade over the Hudson River and Statue of Liberty at around 9:30 a.m.

Six F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft from the Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, known as the Thunderbirds, flew in formation alongside the Red Arrows in the skies above Manhattan.

The two display teams were joined by a formation of the F-22 Raptor Demo Team and the F-35 Demo Team - also of the US Air Force - during the fly-over.
