Absolutely fantastic to see........... Despite the superiority of the American hardware, the Arrows truely showed them how it's done!
Felt an all too seldom (these days) feeling of National pride watching this.
Well done lads!!!

Great show. Americans were really shown how to do it by the Arrows and I had a little lump in my throat that they're all ours. They really do great things and best of all they do it with minimal fuss.

I wouldn't think that the Americans have a trainer aircraft superior to the Hawk. If they had, the US Navy wouldn't have purchased Hawks.

If its the same programme I watched a while ago, utterly fantastic, living in Lincoln I'm treated to plenty of displays when they are practising, and they are truly brilliant.

My personal favourite is the heat with a line through - but then I am a girl!! - incidentally I believe this seasons line-up has the red arrows first female red!

I presume you really meant "Heart with an arrow through it" smile.

This particular display device is popular with quite a few teams, not just the Arrows. Sadly, it was whilst performing a version of this particular trick that the Frecci Tricolori came to grief in 1988.
