Red Arrows Flypast for Trump’s State Visit: Low Clouds Raise Concerns but Event Still Scheduled

By Tictac24 Editorial • Published: Sept 17, 2025

Concerns have been raised on social media about whether the Red Arrows flypast planned as part of President Donald Trump’s state visit will take place this afternoon, as cloudy skies linger over Windsor.

Social Media Doubts

Some spectators have expressed fears that low cloud cover could disrupt the event. One user posted:

“There's low cloud in Windsor today, no rain as yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the fly pass will still take place at 16:45 and I get to see the Red Arrows.”

Another wrote: “Doubt the Red Arrows will fly today for Trump... Cloud too low.” Despite these worries, there has been no official announcement of cancellation, and as of now the flypast is still expected to go ahead at 16:45 BST.

A Showcase of British Pageantry

The president and First Lady Melania Trump will be treated to a display of the finest British pageantry, with several other notable firsts expected during the occasion. The Red Arrows’ participation is a symbolic highlight, showcasing precision aerobatics and national ceremonial flair.
