Some interesting view angles of the maneuvers you don't get to see very often in this video filmed from someone's backyard during the Great New England Air Show this past weekend.

Boy, from this point of view you can really see the cupping and toeing going on in ALL of the rolls! From show center it is hidden (as it is supposed to be!) Still no excuse for you VTB wingies, especially 5 and 6! 8) Great find LD.

0:41 Seems the Right wing tends to cup a lot more then left, is it because their on the " out side " of the roll ?

Well, in the trail to diamond barrel, the right wingman has an outgoing movement and needs to catchup with the leader, which is rolling to the left. So, to catchup, you will need some bank (cupping) into the leader since rudder alone is probably not enough, or looks bad from the publics pov.
