The Red Arrows are expected to be northeast of Brewood at 3:34pm and will pass near Uttoxeter and Sutton-on-Trent on their way to Waddington at 3:45pm.
The times could change due to the weather or other factors, according to the website military-airshows.co.uk, whic shared the expected route and timings.
This year's air show at Cosford, meanwhile, will feature an array of legendary aircraft like the American P51 Mustang, royal Air Force Chinook helicopter and F-35B Lightning fighter jet.

Gemma Collins makes first appearance after admitting she feels like she's dying
Gemma Collins launched Trainline's 'SlayStation' pop-up at King's Cross station today, encouraging commuters and party-goers to step in to get their hair and makeup done Gemma Collins was glowing today as she made her first public appearance since admitting she feels like "dying" while battling pneumonia. The 44-year-old brought full glam to King's Cross station in London as she launched Trainline's "SlayStation" pop-up, helping commuters and concert-goers prepare for their night out - offering free hair, makeup and selfie-ready moments to those heading to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour as well as people passing by. It comes as former The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) star Gemma, who is celebrated for her glamour, meme-worthy one-liners, and unapologetic self-confidence, was named the ultimate night out partner in a poll - receiving 27 per cent of votes by Gen Z - quickly followed by Katie Price (25 per cent) and Alison Hammond (22 per cent). The survey, commissioned by Trainline, also revealed that for three quarters of 18-34 year olds (75 per cent), the night out begins well before they step foot in the venue. With three quarters saying getting ready is one of the most important parts of the night, one in five Brits now plan their outfit and look up to one month in advance of their night out – with 70 per cent of Brits using time on the train to perfect their look. Speaking about her own experiences with nights out and looking back at the good old days, the GC said: "Listen, the best part of the night is the build-up. It's the getting glam, the playlist, the group chat chaos, and those deep, hilarious, 'why did we even start talking about this?' moments on the journey to the venue. SlayStation is all about bringing the glam – a bit of hair, a bit of makeup, and a whole lot of fabulous. If you're stepping out, step out ready to slay." Sarah Helppi, UK Country Director at Trainline, said: "At Trainline, we know that great nights out start long before you reach the venue – they start with the journey. Whether it's touching up your look up on the train, sharing music playlists, or those conversations that only happen en route, travel has become an essential part of the night. That's why we launched SlayStation – to celebrate the journey and make it as iconic as the destination." To help commuters and party-goers feel their best, SlayStation brought together professional hair, makeup and glam artists to King's Cross today. The free-of-charge event, held until 8pm on Saturday, is now sold out. Earlier this week, a bedridden Gemma took to Instagram to share an update about her health, revealing that she had been seriously unwell for a number of weeks. In her post, which included a photo of the reality TV star laying in bed, she wrote: "Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon." In a further update on her Instagram Story, Gemma revealed she was receiving treatment via a drip and had been seen by a doctor. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs typically caused by an infection and while most people recover within two to four weeks, infants, the elderly, and those with heart or lung conditions are at a higher risk of severe illness and may require hospitalisation. Luckily, Gemma has not had to go to hospital, but speaking to The Mirror, she admitted that she feels as though she is "dying" as she said: "Because the Pneumonia is viral, no antibiotic is going to help me. I've been really short of breath and obviously I have work commitments that I would never not turn up to. I'm old-school, I would always fulfill my work commitments. "It's shocking, I've had it now for over three weeks and I had steroids given to me by my doctor. It was DJ Fat Tony's wedding and I had to take them to get through that, but I'm off them now and the sickness is really kicking back in. It's so frustrating because I normally have so much energy and I'm always loving life, but now I get really breathless really quickly and I feel like I'm dying."

Shoppers happy to drive 144 miles and queue seven hours for a bargain
We are a nation obsessed with a great deal, with almost three quarters saying bargain hunting is an essential part of British culture, according to research from Three. 98% saying they feel 'on top of the world' after securing a saving, while more than half 58% report it can 'make their whole week'. People say they are not afraid to queue for seven hours to get their hands on a bargain. With almost a third admitting they have driven to an entirely different area, an average of 144 miles, or woken up in the early hours just to get a deal. Brits also confessed to leaving work early, bailing on friends and even sneaking out of a date early to take advantage of a super saving. For many, deal-seeking is almost a full-time job, with the nation spending on average 52 hours each week hunting for ways to save. Andrew Foy, Director of New Products and Propositions at Three UK, said: "We know our customers love a good deal. Last year our savvy customers saved up to £335 each, thanks to our Three+ app. Whether it's treating the family to a meal or getting a £1 fancy coffee to go."
