Is this an Italian team? If so I've seen videos of them and they put on a great show.

Ah yes, The Frecce Tricolori flying the Aermacchi M-311 with ten aircraft, nine in training and a soloist, they are the world's largest acrobatics patrol, and their flight schedule, comprising about twenty acrobatics and about half an hour, made them very famous Throughout Europe.
