Awesome viewpoint… The truly impressive parts are not the maneuvers (though they sure look great) but rather the transitions between them and the amount of closure speed they bring during rejoins. That’s the hard part!
Wow!

Thanks, Jim, I love these videos. I knew they flew close formation but I always assumed they just “looked” closer together than they really were.
@LCV Wannabe. I went over to look at the uploader’s channel and he’s just starting (12 hours ago) to upload new videos of the flight including all the radio commands from ATC, BA #1, and the show support team.
If anyone is interested the uploader has now added part 2 of his videos, I find it fascinating that the fixed camera is looking to the rear while you can see the planes ahead through his reflective goggle lenses at the same time. 😀
