Agreed, the Arrows bore the arse off me
Probably because you are too familiar with them. What they do is truly skillful and demanding. I have no doubt they are the best jet formation team in the world - and that is when compared to their peers such as the Patrouille de Framce (Alpha Jets) and the Frecci Tricolori (Aermacchi MB339).The American teams (USAF - Thunderbirds) and US Navy (F-18 Hornet) work on a different set of principles, being demonstration teams rather than aerobatic teams. Both teams have generally tried to use front line aircraft although for a while in the 70s The Thunderbirds used T-38 Talons - after a disastrous multiple aircraft crash when using the F-4 Phantom.
The US and Russia are probably the only countries now who use front line combat aircraft in their demonstration teams - as opposed to advanced trainers.

A few days ago Strong winds caused problems for planes as they attempted to land at Bilbao's Loiu airport.

Love the Arrows, but after RIAT this year, have to say that we were more impressed by the South Korean Team, whose name I forget. They seemed somehow much nimbler through the air. Esp love the fact they had to transport their aircraft via 747 !The American teams (USAF - Thunderbirds) and US Navy (F-18 Hornet) work on a different set of principles, being demonstration teams rather than aerobatic teams.
