This is real flying. Red Arrows from 1967 in Gnats. Nice low pass at 6:25,

Enjoy
It's a shame they can't fly that low anymore. I remember seeing a video where one bottomed out the loop about 10ft above ground!

I have seen a couple of 'closed' displays by the Red Arrows, and the Canberra at Marham, when it was, and they were much more daring!

I hope whoever was holding the camera at 6:44 still had their head attached to the body after that yikes

Bit difficult to judge speed with no reference to scale on the landscape? The movements are a bit fluid though, as though minor adjustments are smoothed out, but it's only a simulation. Good effort.

And my dad was an instructor pilot on the Hawk! hehe

You do realise all of those videos are created by enthusiasts who replicate the red arrows display on flight simulator?
