"There is great contrast in this line-up, from tight aerobatics and playful formation flying to heritage aircraft, distinctive display favourites and the unmistakable sound of classic jets.

Also appearing for the first time are the Turbulent ‘Turb’ Team, known for their colourful formation flying in small Druine D.31 Turbulent aircraft.
The Starlings will perform a high-energy routine featuring close formation flying, opposition manoeuvres, rolls, loops, stall turns and dramatic solo figures.
