Video of training and flypast from cockpit of one plane - turn up the volume EIIR http://vimeo.com/42489364
Pretty cool, 27 aircraft. It looked pretty close to perfect except for the aircraft that was to be the middle of the top crossbar on the E, slightly right of position (from aircraft POV). I wonder is this the largest formation ever for this kind of display (text or graphics to be viewed from the ground) or if something was larger?
I've got a picture my grandfather took shortly after WWII with more planes, I don't remember what the word was though.
