They are set to visit 13 countries, including Jordan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Malaysia, India and Pakistan. During their 15,000 mile trip they will perform their famous air display a total of 18 times. Millions of people are expected to turn out to watch the Team display during the course of the goodwill tour.

“We are proud to represent the UK overseas.” said Wing Commander Hawker, “We hope to demonstrate the very best of British to millions of people in the countries we will visit, both in terms of the skill of our people and of the quality of the Hawk aircraft that we fly.”http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/teamnews/index.cfm?storyid=F6932C7D-1143-EC82-2EF76F000E9491EB
