The 2004 Team Displays – Music in the Air at Middle Wallop – 31st July 2004

The Music in the Air display at Middle Wallop is a unique experience and one of the most delightful displays on the UK air show circuit. A full orchestra and choir with guest soloists provide a classical backdrop to the aircraft on display, carefully chosen to fit the music programme. The AHAF were one of the highlights of the display, performing a special split formation routine in time with the music rather than their normal display. The finale to the display was a "night glow" by four hot air balloons and a tremendous firework display.
