In the cockpit with the Red Arrows during breathtaking flight over Niagara Falls

Watch: Incredible cockpit footage of Red Arrows flypast over Niagara Falls

The Red Arrows have been showing off their spectacular aerial skills during a flypast over the stunning backdrop of Niagara Falls.

The RAF's aerobatic team are in Canada to mark 100 years of the Royal Canadian Air Force in the same year they celebrate 60 years in the skies.

Their daredevil flight over the falls on the US-Canadian border – with their trademark red, white and blue vapour trails – was one of their final displays before leaving their Canadian hosts.

The Royal Canadian Air Force had invited the team to tour six cities in celebration of its centenary, taking part in several displays.

They've been in Canada for five weeks on their Maple Hawk tour which has included stunning displays, colourful flypasts and engagements on the ground.

The Red Arrows are also celebrating – 2024 marks 60 years in the skies for them. 

The Niagara display was supposed to take place in August but cloud and fog meant it was postponed – but it was definitely worth the wait.
