Aviators from around the world are coming together in support of disabled flying - giving their time to participate in Aerobility’s Armchair Airshow 2021, which will livestream on Saturday, 29th May at 14:00 hrs BST.

The line-up is impressive with The Red Arrows being joined by The Royal Canadian Air Force’s display team, The Snowbirds, Rich Goodwin’s Jet Pitts, The Memphis Belle as well as Spitfires from the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar and more.

There is even exclusive access to the workshop building the world’s fastest electric aircraft.

The show will also deliver exclusive interviews and aircraft tours from the Imperial War Museum Duxford as well as a brand-new footage from the RAF’s Typhoon Display Team.

Guests joining the show to share their insight and experience of the world of aviation include three-time US National Aerobatic Champion, Patty Wagstaff, land-speed record holder and F4 Phantom pilot, Andy Green and Jessica Cox, the world’s first armless pilot.

Mike Miller-Smith, CEO at Aerobility, said “The Armchair Airshow is once again bringing live aviation direct to livings rooms everywhere, whilst at the same time changing lives by raising funds to ensure anyone with any disability can learn to fly. We are humbled by the support of the aviation community and cannot wait to share the event on Saturday.”

About Aerobility    

Aerobility is a leading disabled flying charity based at Blackbushe Airport, Hampshire, UK. It represents the needs of disabled people whatever their aviation needs and aspirations and it offers anyone, with any disability, the opportunity to learn to fly and to participate in aviation-based activities. It does this to drive focus on capabilities and encourage the individual to ask themselves ‘If I can fly an aeroplane, what else can I do?’. This has the potential to improve the quality of life and life opportunity for disabled people including the wounded, injured and sick members of our Armed Forces Community.
