Red Arrows Get First Woman Leader

This year, Wing Commander Sasha Nash was appointed leader of the Red Arrows, becoming the first woman to command the entire 150-strong Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team.
Years ago Nash joined the Royal Air Force in 2005 and became an experienced fast-jet pilot, flying the Tornado GR4 on the frontline and in global exercises.
She succeeds Wing Commander Adam Collins after his three-year tour, and Nash paid tribute to his dedication and deep respect from the display community.
Training for the new season is already underway, and Nash said she looks forward to meeting people at airshows this year while working with the Red Arrows team and ground crew.
Forward-Looking, Nash described the appointment as `This is a career opportunity of a lifetime` and said she is 'incredibly proud' to inspire future generations of aviators.
