May I say how well the 9 ship was lead and flown. Having done more than a few over the past 45 years it is no mean feat.
The leading was well planned and very well executed. Despite a few wobbles the formation hung on very well.
The one low point was the VRIAB with 10 second intervals. I know that a Fan Break would have been out of the question, however, 2 seconds or even 5 seconds would have been so much slicker.
