Description

The Swedish Army's popular HKP 5 show - seen here in the large split!
'The Flying Carpet' featured twelve aircraft in a formation, piloted by a flight instructor in each machine. The show featured some highly skilled formation flying, including a carpet formation, a spectacular split, flying in a row and forming a perfectly closed circle, flying in an 'eight' pattern and jumping over each other in the middle, and not to mention four machines autorotating to the ground together, and so on.
