Seems like we've had a lot of discussions, photos, and videos of the Blues and TBirds. Here's a decent one of the Red Arrows, set to some music by Juno Reactor. The video is a touch shakey at times, but it's good. Their 9-ship stuff is just great. The variety they put in the shows is very good. They don't have the power of a Viper or Hornet, but make up for it with some very unique things that they do in 2, 3, and 4 ship formations.

Years ago, they did the Houston Airshow. They were just lounging in the performers area, eating burgers while lounging on the grass. Finally, the lead stands up and says something like "Well, mates, shall we?", and they all sauntered toward the jets. They proceeded to put on a great show, as usual. I heard years later that they have some sort of tradition where they each try to look as relaxed, casual, and late as possible, but without actually missing the flight check-in on freq.
Our Mediterranean location is the same place where the Reds to their winter workups. They're very good about letting our guys ride along in the backseat on their practices. I've missed out, but a bunch of guys have taken advantage of it.
