NATO jets to soar across Welsh skies in Summit flypast
World leaders and the South Wales public will be treated to an aerial display of military jets from 9 different countries at the NATO Summit.
The RAF’s Red Arrows will be joined by aircraft from across the NATO alliance for the flypast over the summit at the Celtic Manor resort on Friday 5 September at 9am.
Local residents in Cardiff should head to Cardiff Bay at 8.30am for the best view of the planes.
In Newport people should be ready to watch the display at 8.45am as it passes south of the City Centre, over Spytty Park, Beechwood Park and Lliswerry.
The planes will soar across South Wales, passing the National Assembly building in Cardiff Bay on the way to the summit, where world leaders including Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama will be among delegates from the 28 NATO member states.
Secretary of State for Wales Stephen Crabb said:
The eyes of the world will be on Wales next week and we are proud to be hosting Heads of State and world leaders at the NATO Summit.
This flypast serves as another reminder of how the Summit is putting Wales on the world stage, as people look up and see jets from nations across NATO fill the skies of South Wales.
