Every summer thousands of spectators watch in awe as the world famous Red Arrows take to the skies at major events across Wales - and the rest of the UK - to perform a series of displays.
But it's now been confirmed that the RAF display team, which has delighted generations of people with their aerial acrobatics, won't be performing at a major Welsh air show in North Wales this summer - and they are not ear-marked to appear at Swansea's big event either.
The news was revealed in a statement by Denbighshire Council which organises the popular Rhyl Air Show, reports the Daily Post.
The Red Arrows have been one of the main draws of both the Rhyl show and the Wales Airshow in Swansea for many years.

But the famed acrobatic team cannot attend many of its usual UK summer shows, including Rhyl on August 24 and 25, as they are planning a grand tour of North America at that time.
And while the Wales Airshow in Swansea takes place on July 6 & 7 - which is before the American tour - the event is currently not listed in the Red Arrows' schedule for 2019.
The RAF has confirmed that the Red Arrows will take part in the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford from July 19 to 21 and then the team will will fly to North America for the Western Hawk 19 tour taking in places like Ottawa, Chicago, New York and Toronto throughout August and September.

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, is one of the world's premier aerobatic display team and attracts the finest pilots in the land.
They have been performing since 1965 and fly Hawk fast-jets.
The name was taken from the Black Arrows and the colour scheme as a tribute to the Red Pelicans - both aerobatic teams that were predecessors to the Red Arrows.
There are nine Red Arrows display pilots who have all flown operationally, in frontline aircraft such as the advanced Typhoon.
Based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, the Red Arrows has flown around 5,000 displays in 57 countries.
They were recently made the subject of a Channel 5 documentary.
