Frecce T - A display question

Having watched in wonder yet again the Frecce Tricolori at Fairford, I am wondering yet again, how one of the manouvres is flown. I reckon that this has to be a good place to ask.

The mindboggler in question, is the ten way crossover, with the whole team breaking from a bomb burst and coming back in pairs, with all ten crossing simultaneously over display centre, including at angles off datum. How is it flown safely? I know that many of you were at RIAT and saw it, so in that hope, I hand it over to you.

I have been wondering about this one since about 1989 and am still none the wiser.

regards,

Conan
