Flt Lt Moore was one of two candidates who passed a rigorous selection test with 30 other RAF fast jet pilots to claim the place among the renowned nine-pilot team.
The pilot, who qualified to apply for the post after an operational tour flying Tornados over Iraq, will spend the next three years enthralling crowds in Britain and abroad with daredevil manoeuvres.
Flt Lt Moore, 31, is not the first female to have applied to join the Red Arrows, but was the first to make the prestigious 'shortlist' of candidates, and is now the first to be selected for the team.
