Actually I have seen it done with live weapons, but that was a long time ago when we had a real air force - the australian navy sky hawks.

Six of them came over the hill from behind us at fifty feet - complete and total surprise.

Each had a different weapon load which they then demonstrated.

The finish was the Sqn ldr with a single 2000lb bomb which rattled a few windows back at Pucka. Talk about showmanship!

The air force turned up with Two out of the promised four Mirages, dropped two bombs that didn't explode we heard the distant rattle of Two Defa cannons and a bit of dust, then they went home for tea.
