Merlin at Farnborough

The Merlin flying display at Farnborough was excellent. Very precise flying by the aircraft commander.

The aircraft will do nicely for the US President I should think.

I would imagine that the Lynx commander will still be doing backflips! I have never seen so many front loops, back loops, stalls etc thrown into 10 minutes!!!!

The Lynx flying was part of the Blue Eagles Display Team (visuals below courtesy of their website). The whole team did a fantastic job on the day

Find out more about them here..

Thanks for the comments. I can't see Marine One/VXX doing the same things but hey, you never know!!
Please drop in to our website for a look at some pics of what the display is all about
