June 9, 200719 yr About 2 hours ago the Red Arrows were having a display right OUTSIDE MY HOUSE!! They were having a display because of the Isle of Wight Festival (a big music festival where I live on the island). The Red Arrows are the Royal Air Force Display Team, I think there are only 9 of the jets and usually display only at huge events in the UK. Having these guys flying all over the sky was absolutely amazing! It must of gone on for more than a good half an hour. Some flew right over my house and the sound was really deafening but a real thrill to hear it. The kinds of stunts they did, the formations and the coloured smoke was freaking AWESOME!! They even made a heart shape with an arrow through it in the sky! This is aviation at it's best. I can safely say that it made my year lol! :D :thumbsup: If only I made a video of it, then you would really appreciate what they are capable of. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.
June 9, 200719 yr The Blue Angels are the American counterpart, and it's pretty awesome to see :) Gamertag: King Arizona
June 9, 200719 yr Author sweet, they are pretty awesome, you live on the isle of wight-whats that like? Yeah, it's a really nice island. Though it's a bit crowded at the moment with something like 60,000 music fans. :shock: No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

June 9, 200719 yr I've seen them about 7 times. They do demonstrations over Bournmouth quite a lot in the Summer Holidays. I love them. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!

I added the heart. :D Offtopic: Are you talking about the O2 Wireless festival? Happen to know who's playing? I'm not sure, but O2 does sound like a familiar sponsor for the festival. There is highlights of the festival on Channel 4 tonight at midnight, for UK viewers. I'm not really into music, but I think there is Kasabian, Rolling Stones, Snow Patrol...

June 9, 200719 yr Wow, my brothers going to the cosford airshow with his friend tomorrow I wonder if they will be there. The red arrows are cool, and their perorming is brilliant. P.S: It looks like you live in quite a nice area :-w

June 10, 200719 yr Excellent. I saw some pictures of these guys on google some time ago, they're pretty nice. I think there was a video on youtube too. They're great.
June 10, 200719 yr Tis a shame that Concorde is grounded now, would have been amazing to keep one flying for use with the red arrows Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.
