Tornado  by carole_sandford

Tornado

That is the name of this manoeuvre. Six or seven jets fly in formation with smoke trailing. Two jets fly around those smoke trails.
Very nice indeed

Wow - just a silly question - are these maneuvers part of a training session or a tourist exhibition or for some other purpose. They seem to do remarkable dangerous things.

@robz They’re an aerobatic display team. Currently doing their winter training, honing their skills to get their PDA (Public Display Authority) to conduct displays in the Summer of 2025.

This link tells you officially what they are, and why.
