Continuing from the previous article, here is an introduction to the formation flying of the British RAF Red Arrows Aerobatic Team.

Formation 11: Goose

According to the official website, the next maneuver should be the Goose formation, but what was actually seen was completely different. Two aircraft made a pass from east to west. The other 7 aircraft formed a triangular formation, trailing white, blue, and red smoke, flying towards each other from west to east.

After the crossover, the 7 aircraft maintained formation and made a pass. I wonder what this maneuver is called?

Formation 12: Shotgun

This maneuver involved only 2 solo aircraft maintaining one high and one low position as they made a pass. The two aircraft maintained a constant distance but continuously performed rolling maneuvers.

Formation 13: Revolution

The 6-ship formation approached from the east side, and while maintaining formation, you could see each aircraft continuously rolling as well.

Formation 14: Heart and Spear This maneuver is the easiest to understand. 2 aircraft drew a heart shape, while another aircraft flew through the middle, tracing an arrow of love.
