The Red Arrows did a spectacular run and break at Muscat in Oman last year, breaking from a diamond 9 loop into a bomburst with left and right breaks. On the runway the Hawks kept to the left or right side depending on their break, and kept the middle of the runway as a fast lane. The last Hawk down had brake problems and had to use the fast lane, going between all the preceding Hawks as it took off again to wait for a clear runway. I think they should keep it in their show!
