Just watched this very impressive. Just after take-off they adopt their 'close'! formation position whilst banking to port, which takes them over built-up areas and later on they perform manoeuvres in close formation again over such areas. Is not SOP to keep within the confines of the airbase for such phases?
Did not have much involvement with Jags (the occasional survey of bird-struck ones to categorise the damage, oh and trudging through the woods near Wesel plotting the location of bits&pieces of a certain machine). Anyway, the leading edge slats on the T-bird in the video appeared to be extended for the duration - would that be normal only for high-G manoeuvres or are they fixed?
