In harmony: The BirdMan wingsuit display team perform in Germany
Just like the Red Arrows, they soar through the sky in perfect formation leaving a trail of smoke in their wake.
Unlike the Red Arrows, this daredevil crew do it without aeroplanes.
They are skydivers wearing just a helmet and £1,000 body suit with flaps of material between the legs and under the arms to act as wings.
The team leap from a plane at 13,000ft and fly inches apart as they glide to earth at 120mph with smoke canisters strapped to their ankles.
Once within 3,000ft of the ground they open a parachute and float to earth. LINK
