One of the great things about reporting from the Air Show is that we get front row seats for the air displays that take place each day.

Stealing the show and giving the final performance of the day was the UK’s Red Arrows flying team. All RAF pilots, each of the nine man team flies for the Red Arrows for three years. Every three years, three pilots leave and a new three are drafted in, so that there is never fewer than six experienced pilots performing the stunts.

Below is the Spanish Air Force’s Patrulla Aguila team, which performed a similar - and also impressive - routine. It ended in style too, as the team landed on the runway in formation.
