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.

Yep. And that changed forever how air shows were done after that. No more right over top of crowds, there has to be a standoff distance now.

They're all good pilots, but two of them fly circles around the others.
