Award-winning Wildcat helicopter display. Timed slot each day — set an alarm if you do not want to miss it.
The Wildcat can fold its rotor and tail to fit a frigate hangar, then unfold and launch in minutes.
Who flies it
Royal Navy Black Cats
Wildcat display crew
The Black Cats are the Navy’s helicopter display team. In 2026 they are flying a solo Wildcat rather than a pair, and Eastbourne is one of only four UK shows to get them all four days. Crews are serving RN aircrew.
