What you see
Ambient sound and music dominate, with brief stretches of the event's commentary. The narrator describes a sudden climb and introduces a military transport aircraft capable of carrying different types of cargo. He then describes a manoeuvre in which the aircraft separate at timed intervals, return to their initial attitude and immediately rejoin formation: the vertical fleur-de-lis, which the announcer asks the crowd to applaud.
The aircraft on display
The commentary highlights the precision and safety with which the pilots push the aircraft to their operating limits, which it attributes to their constant training. It also acknowledges the work of the specialist maintenance crew. The video gives no technical figures for the F-5E.
