Nice find. :)

Certainly, it's a special year for this traditional team.
In these months, they train 5 to 6 days per week to seek their perfection standard, they got used to. Also, they will change some maneuvers for this year, they have in their display repertoire.

Here is an hot picture that was taken today (9th of March).

Very cool - looking forward to seeing their documentary!

Based on what I saw of the Virtual Blue Impulse at VFAT, they put on a great show.
