Thread of flyover pictures: First, a bunch of helis. Apaches followed by Sea Kings (?) followed by Chinooks

Do you think I can get them to do this for my birthday too?

Pretend refueling? That's what it looks like, and the Hercules does have the probe for it.

Think those might actually be Texans? Trainer aircraft, a single-engine turboprop. Nose is way too long for Hurricane. Makes sense to fly trainers with a modern aircraft.

Think some of those Spitfires might be Hurricanes. Hard to tell in the photo, the most obvious thing from the ground is Spitfires have the proper elliptical wing, Hurricanes are more straight lines with a rounded tip.

They look kinda like Sea Kings, but I think they're something newer, probably a Merlin. That's the thing closest in silhouette that the Royal Navy operates. The UK as a whole does still operate a few Sea Kings, so it is possible.
