The Farnborough International Airshow 2018 promises to be among the most innovative and interactive ever. Organizers are working hard to enhance the event against the backdrop of a clamp-down on airshow safety after a vintage Hawker Hunter crashed at Shoreham almost three years ago, on Aug. 22, 2015. The UK CAA has since then significantly tightened procedures and criteria for airshow organizers. As a result, the iconic RAF Red Arrows BAe Hawk display team has been restricted to performing only a fly-past at the show because Farnborough is a civil airfield. At the Royal International Air Tattoo, which will take place at RAF Fairford the weekend before Farnborough, the Reds can do their full display.
