“Throughout 2010, The Blades performed their jaw-dropping displays at air shows across the UK, proudly displaying the RAF Association and Wings Appeal livery. The Blades are made up of former Red Arrows pilots and have flown over 300 displays in front of more than 18 million people over the last three years,” the RAF Association says.
As well as the flight, the winner will have an opportunity to fly a helicopter and take a front row seat as The Blades perform a private air display for their guests.
Anyone who wants to be in with a chance to win can now enter the competition by texting the word WINGS to 70007. This will give one entry into the draw for a flight in a Blades aerobatic aircraft.
Your support will cost GBP2 per text, plus your standard network message charge, with at least GBP1.54 from each donation going to the RAF Association, depending on your network operator.
The text entries must be received by midnight on December 31st, 2010 to be admissible and entrants will receive a text message reply as proof of entry. Entrants must be over 16 years of age and resident in the UK, but the prize can be taken up by any persons older than 12 years old.
The Blades are a civilian aerobatic team flying four Extra 300 aircraft. Each of the display pilots are ex-RAF and ex-Red Arrows. The Blades are the only UK aerobatic team licensed to carry passengers.
