I enjoyed the progamme but:

Surely the new former fighter pilots have LOTS of experience of formation flying, so why the big deal made by the commentator, or thats how it seemed. . The guys did brilliantly.
Secondly, why on eath. do the blues need to swin 4 lengrhs of a pool in a flying suit ?

In my day, dinghy drill, the training was to board your dinghy attached
to your life jacket, supported by your Mae West, and in an immersion suit. Etc.,
No swimming required !

Other than that, first class, brought back a lot of memories, as a QFI !

Anyway, really look forward to their displsys this season, they always make the hard things, such as formation changes when pulling G, look so smooth and precise.
