Here's the video from my Facebook page.

I like the 3:00 spot where I look where no one looks, but I catch the sneak pass... and sorry I often lose the diamond on the loop cause the sun was right into our eyes as we looked up.

The second picture for the takeoff.

Also #4 was leaving the formation for an instant, while they all started their smoke briefly.

Talking about #4, it was a 2 seat model (D I think), and some1 was in the back, anyone has a clue on who the guest was?

It's probably some requirement that hasn't been met, because they flew their diamond cloverloop opener, the arrowhead loop, the diamond roll.

Woah! Nice pratice today. We were surprised 2 times by their sneak pass my girlfriend and I. I love the new motor's sound. Are they still doing their loop on takeoff because they didn't do it today. It was fun see the diamond pratice the 4 plane cross and rejoin after 4-5 times in a row. Also at the...

Diamond pass in Review???

Looks more like an Arrowhead Loop!

What could have caused such an evident error, switching from high to low show?
