Last time I watched the Reds land a couple of years ago, No 10 in a stream landing lost his brakes. They don't use a slow lane on the runway but go left/right side alternately. Was very impressive (and professional) to watch No 10 bolt through the middle to set up for an individual landing that he managed to stop on the runway.

I would find what they do boring after the novelty had worn off (about a year?). I preferred the variety of front-line flying but each to their own and, like FJJP said, they are good for PR.
