A professional team who are masters of their trade. I don't see a big problem with them flying down in the weeds, after all, that's what most of the pilots careers have consisted of. They have the best training possible to do so.

Jealous, moaning civvies who would doubtless give their eye teeth to sit in a Hawk, let alone fly in one should rest assured that the RAFAT has been flying quite safely around the UK for decades - so don't look for problems where non exist!
But let's not try and make them out as Gods who can do no wrong. They are human and make the occasional screw up like the rest of us. For example, the electricity wire strike in the Highlands a few years back ?? Definitely avoidable and a potential loss of aircraft and life.
