| Once again in my opinion one of the best displays (possibly even the best!) of the Lowestoft Air Show 2008 was 2 Excel Aviation's "The Blades" in their Extra 300 LP aircraft. Formed only three years ago, The Blades are now internationally recognised as a world-class aerobatic display team! All the aircraft in The Blades are flown by former Red Arrows pilots...this might explain why they're so good! The only full-time civilian aerobatic team in the UK, The Blades perform their synchronised gyroscopic manoeuvres and precision formation aerobatics all over the world! What still impresses me is the way they just basically let the plane drop in the sky and then somehow gain control of it!! I have uploaded just over six minutes of footage of them doing their thing so you can see what I mean when I say they were possibly the best in the '08 show! Visit The Blades official page at www.2excelaviation.com where you will find more info and can even book a flight on board one of 2 Excels Extra 300!! *Filmed 24th July 2008* |
