pains me to say it but their display is becoming rather dated and isn't helped by a 7 ship at present. There are many other exceptional teams out there and at RIAT both the black Eagles and Frecce Tricolori were far superior (in my opinion) with tighter formations and inventive manoeuvres. The Reds have quite rightly always been the pinnacle for display teams across the globe but the competition has caught up and now gone past them!
