Fans of the Red Arrows had their eyes to the skies when the famous jets soared into Norwich Airport today.
The team arrived at the city's airport on Thursday morning, which will continue as their refuelling base on Friday for Clacton Airshow.
The Reds treated onlookers to an impressive flyover as they arrived back to the airport and greeted fans at the gate - signing autographs and taking selfies.
Flight Lieutenant Tom Bould, aged 35, said: 'The best thing about being in the Red Arrows is being part of a team.
'It takes a lot of hard work to get to the point where we can display all nine jets in front of the public .'
The Red Arrows are the Royal Airforce aerobatic team and is made up of nine pilots who fly distinctive hawk jets.
The team are hosted by private charter airline Saxon Air during their visit.
