Pretty cool helmet cam view of the Midnight Hawks show.

Midnight Hawks is the official aerobatic display team of the Finnish Air Force. The team consists of four air combat instructors of the Finnish Air Force Academy Fighter Squadron 41 flying BAE Systems Hawk Mk 51 advanced jet trainers. The team, established in 1997, flies several displays annually during Finnish Air Force Base Open Day events and airshows in Finland and abroad.

In this video the Midnight Hawks is seen performing their display sequence during the Malmi 80th Anniversary Air Show in August 2016 in Helsinki, Finland. First the team takes off from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to fly the sequence over the neighboring Helsinki-Malmi Airport. During the display the radio communications of the team are heard with Captain Marc Fuss, the team leader flying the Midnight Hawks jet #1 giving instructions about the upcoming maneuvers to the other pilots of the team. Also the voice of the team supervisor observing the display from Helsinki-Malmi airport, Major Joni Kankaanpää, can be heard.
