0:00:02 > 0:00:06Welcome to Airmageddon, the ultimate test of airborne skill.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Four teams and their flying machines are about to go head-to-head
0:00:10 > 0:00:14over a series of three epically tough challenges.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Each game will see one team grounded,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20and just one team will make it through to the semifinals.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Here, in our purpose-built Airena, they'll face each other
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and our resident drones,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29a fleet of ferocious, unmanned
0:00:29 > 0:00:33aerial vehicles programmed to shock and awe.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39But who will survive, who will be crowned master of the skies?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Aviators, stand by.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is Airmageddon!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Welcome to Airmageddon, the home of drones,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- a show you really can count on.- Yes, we have got one giant Airena.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- Two presenters.- Three dimensions of mayhem.- And four UAVs.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Explain, please, Will.- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Keep up, Rachel.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Well, I'm already ahead of you, mate, don't worry.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Anyway, let's meet our aviators. - And here they are.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Entering the Airena, Stealth 2.2.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Followed by the Master Hawks.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Team Hornets. Last but not least, Area 51.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44So, it's time for our first challenge.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47This one is a real test of precision, speed and
0:01:47 > 0:01:49skill against the clock.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And they're all pretty confident now, but will they be quite
0:01:52 > 0:01:55so confident when they take on our aerial airsault course?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Team Stealth 2.2 are up first. They will be setting the pace.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- Is that a bird or is that a plane? - Oh, no, that is a pig, actually.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Come on.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Yes, swine flu. Not the disease, but his test run.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Our first challenge, very simple.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18It's an obstacle course, but with a twist or two or three.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21One lap of our vast Airena.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Aviators must throttle off the launchpad
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and fly through the first narrow gate.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Hightail it through the hurdles of horror,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31a tricky traverse of coloured bars.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35On to gate two, and then spot your entrance to
0:02:35 > 0:02:36the pillars of precision.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Past gate three and on to the vortex.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44A whirling wind that can whip you away.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47One final gate...
0:02:48 > 0:02:52And it is a supercharged sprint to the finish line.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Fastest time wins, slowest time and you're grounded.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Cheers, Piggy.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Of course, Pig makes it look easy,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03but that couldn't be further from the truth.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And to turn something that's difficult into something almost
0:03:06 > 0:03:08impossible, let's see who will be up there with them
0:03:08 > 0:03:10from amongst our resident drones.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15It's the D.R.A.GON.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Unique, unreliable and unpredictable. Designed to
0:03:20 > 0:03:24act as a heavy-duty attack-style drone with deadly firepower,
0:03:24 > 0:03:28thanks to a front-mounted flame-thrower. Beware of his breath.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33First up is Stealth 2.2.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Aviator Robert is at the controls, hoping to fly to victory.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39He is aided by wingman Peter.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Stealth 2.2, they're not flying under any radar with that paint job.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47So, you've drawn the short straw, you're first up.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Do you reckon you're going to set the best time?- Yes. We can do it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- We think so.- Good stuff. Well, we are about to find out, OK?
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Aviators, stand by.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Start your motors, rev your rotors,
0:04:01 > 0:04:02you are clear for takeoff!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Time for these boys to propel themselves to greatness.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10There's the D.R.A.GON at the end. He awaits them.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Air Marshal to start.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Aviators, stand by, in three, two, one.'
0:04:17 > 0:04:21This is a tricky airsault course that Stealth 2.2
0:04:21 > 0:04:23must manoeuvre.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Steady, that's it. Keep it moving.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Keep the thing moving, don't pause it at any period of time.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yes, wingman Peter giving advice.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Aviator Robert attacking that first game very smoothly.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Bring it round more, bring it round. This is really good.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Yes, aerial artistry, if you like. Now the hurdles of horror.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Whoa, go that way. Yes, to the left, drop it there.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Yes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Oh, no.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Oh, goodness, he's clipped it. Oh, he is caught as well.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And he quite literally has to wing it a bit here.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Oh, and a tap off for the one from behind.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03He must try and stabilise.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Come on, keep it up. Oh, no.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I just broke one of them.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Drone damaged.' - Oh, propeller.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Gravity got the better of them.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Drone under cover. Unairworthy.'
0:05:15 > 0:05:17That must hurt. That's it, it's over.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Guys, unlucky, that was really, really unlucky.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- You held on to it really well. Are you OK, mate?- Yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Are you sure?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- It's all right, Rob.- Oh, that's got to herd. Especially for the drone.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Old Sir Isaac Newton knew a thing or two.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Gravity, not just a good idea, but the law.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40That was really unlucky. What went wrong for you?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Well, I thought I was on the other side of the bar so I went down.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46But I was on this side so...
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It is so tricky, the depth perception. Yeah, yeah.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52And the important thing to remember is that you guys did get over
0:05:52 > 0:05:53two of the obstacles,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57so there's still a chance you will remain in the competition.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Second in the Airena are the Master Hawks.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Aviator Harry loves steak pie. Don't we all, Harry?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Harry's dad, Steven, is providing wingman support.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Release the vibrant green flying machine.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Are you hoping to be masters of the airsault course?- I hope so.- Yes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18And how are you feeling about this?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Have you had a proper look at everything?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Have you got your tactics worked out?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Yes, we've got our tactics worked out.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- We're pretty confident, I think, today.- Yes, OK?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Your dad seems really confident.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30And that's making me feel nice and relaxed, OK?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34So let's have a good run, and hopefully you will post a fast time.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36All right, then. Aviators, stand by.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Master Hawks ready to join the action here in the Airena.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Stealth 2.2 nervously watching on with Rachel.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Launch in three, two, one.'
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Why, thank you, Air Marshal.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57We saw the D.R.A.GON breathing fire at the end of the course.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Bang in the middle, mate, Good lad. Bang in the middle.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04There you go, mate. Nice and easy. Nice and easy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Communications spot on.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Through the first gate, on to the hurdles of horror.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15That's it, bring it over now.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18This is where the nightmare happened for Stealth 2.2.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Oh, under that middle one. Spot on.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Perfect. Bring it back in.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Good lad. Perfect, mate.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Now, they must do the ascent over, head towards the next gate.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34As we have a little look back. Poor old Stealth 2.2.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37They know they've been put into the drop zone.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Concentrate on getting through.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- You are through, mate, you are through.- Yes, absolutely spot on.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Right through the pillars of precision without any trouble.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48On to gate three.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Down.- The Air Marshall watching on. You can hear the noise.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- They are through that now.- Down a bit, down a bit. Perfect, perfect.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Up, up. Up.- Almost going through the bottom. Out through the top.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Near circular motion, 100mph of air.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06And here's the D.R.A.GON!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Through, through, through. Ignore the drone.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Right, straight round, straight round. Go, go, go.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Oh, yes, they've burned past the D.R.A.GON.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Well, they handled that so well,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24especially this mini cyclone of a vortex. Very tricky.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And then the first team to finish.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Bravo, Master Hawks.
0:08:30 > 0:08:3302.05, they are top of the airsault leaderboard.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Stealth 2.2 did not finish, in the drop zone.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Come in, Master Hawks. Woo, high five! Well done, Dad.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45That was pretty good, Harry. How did it feel?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- I feel really proud about it. - The D.R.A.GON was out, wasn't he?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Did he put you off, was he scaring you?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Not really, I just tried to blank him out of my mind
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and just focus on my drone.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Taking on the airsault course next is Team Hornets.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Piloted by aviator and self-confessed geek Ruby,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06and her wingman dad, Lloyd.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Will they earn their stripes on the airsault course?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17So, this is a big moment for you. Your first trip out in the Airena.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- How are you feeling? - I'm kind of feeling a bit scared
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- because you don't know what is going to happen.- Lloyd, you're going
0:09:23 > 0:09:25to have to be on hand to help keep her focused on the course.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- All right, then. You ready to go? - Yeah.- Aviators, stand by.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Well, Ruby's drone obviously modelled on a hornet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37And not too dissimilar to our own fearsome W.A.S.P.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40But it is the D.R.A.GON she will be facing in the Airena today.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Aviators, stand by, launch in three, two, one.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Remember, the Hornets have no idea how the others have done.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Ruby is away. Wow, she's quick.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Straight to the middle, straight to the middle. Brilliant.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Stay on your flight path. Repeat, stay on
0:09:59 > 0:10:01'your flight path.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- 'Stay on your flight path.'- The Air Marshal just keeping her on track.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Quite right, she is going very wide there.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11This is a little wild, but it's good so far.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Very quick indeed.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Brave, for sure. Gone past Stealth 2.2.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Perfect, perfect.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Up. You got it? - Well, let's look at that again.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26She is taking a long route round, going very wide there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30But hey, it's fast. And she's through safely.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Great skills.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- This is the bit I have trouble on. - You are doing brilliant, Ruby.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44And we are coming in towards the vortex now.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Perhaps the trickiest part of the entire course. Oh, that was close.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Then she really gained control. And this is really fast.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58She goes very wide again, but straight over the finish line.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- 01:27. Did you see the time?! - AIR MARSHAL:- 'Airsault complete.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- 'Warning, drone down.'- Wow.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I give that landing a nine on the Richter scale. Ouch.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Hit by the vortex there as she came in low.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17And then I think there's a little damage.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Excuse me, look what you did when you landed your drone.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Look, it's meant to go on there. You're meant to keep it on there.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- What do you say to that?- Er, well,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30after you've tried to finish, you don't really
0:11:30 > 0:11:32think about anything else.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37No, you just crash-landed your hornet there
0:11:37 > 0:11:40epically, and broke its leg.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42When you go fast, it seems more out of control.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Well, a little bit out of control, but very, very fast indeed.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Team Hornets, 01:27.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Well ahead of Master Hawks, but it is
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Stealth 2.2 who didn't finish,
0:11:55 > 0:11:56and currently in the drop zone.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00So, team Area 51.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Aviator Brandon at the controls, wingman Michael, his stepdad,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06will be cheering him on.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11And there's nothing unidentified about this flying object.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:12:12 > 0:12:14So, you're up in the tower for the first time.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- Is it looking good. Are you feeling comfortable up here?- Yes.- Yes?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I mean, this guy is super cool. Are you feeling as confident as he is?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Yes, I think Brandon is going to smash it.- Yeah?- Not literally.- No.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31All right, then. OK, are you ready? Aviators, stand by.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I hope he hasn't cursed him with that one.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Let's hope he doesn't smash it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Let's see his ultimate mastery.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43That's what he needs.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Cool and calm at the start.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Aviators, launch in three, two, one.'
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Why, thank you, Air Marshal. Here we go.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Towards this first gate.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Not the most difficult of the obstacles to go through.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04But when you're this nervous, I'm sure it is.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Now, on to the hurdles of horror,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10and these are tricky, as we saw with Stealth 2.2.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Our Air Marshal, you can see,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15watching on, making sure that the course is done properly.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Now, if they get through and under this second hurdle...
0:13:23 > 0:13:24That is clear, you can bring it up now.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It is good news, they're going to be going through!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30They don't know that, of course. Up and over,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32towards gate number two.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38If we look back, we can see Stealth 2.2 watching with Rachel.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41That's the moment they realised they were grounded.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Back towards us.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Now, into the vortex.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Coming in low, you must go out high. Very stable.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Well held.- Great stuff, Brandon. Great stuff.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Yes indeed.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03What does the D.R.A.GON have? He is flaming mad.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06He hasn't bothered anybody yet.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Second place. 01:46.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14That was a really solid one throughout.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Well done, Brandon. That was great. How did that feel?- Awesome.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It felt awesome? Hey, I didn't notice before,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22but that is quite the impressive red mohawk you've got on there.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Were you nervous going over the finish line that you might
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- catch fire?- Um, not really. Tried to go in the middle.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Yeah, you were going way too quick for that.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Yes, the might of the mullets gets them into second
0:14:35 > 0:14:40place behind Team Hornets, who were just incredible with 01:27.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Master Hawks are just going through to the next round.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47And in the drop zone, Stealth 2.2.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Goodbye, guys.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53We know what that means, don't we? But didn't they do great, everybody?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I think they deserve a round of applause.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Stealth 2.2, Peter and Rob,
0:14:57 > 0:15:02you were absolutely brilliant, guys.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It was really difficult out there.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08But I've got to say, guys, for now you are officially grounded.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13So, we are one team down, but three are still flying high.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think it is time we really put them to the test.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Barrage Balloons.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Having customised their drones with specialist carbon fibre lances,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29our aviators must attempt to burst their row of coloured balloons.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32If they use their drone to burst them, it still counts.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34But they risk crashing out.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The two teams that burst the most will fly through to the
0:15:37 > 0:15:42dogfight, and the winner carries forward a five-second advantage.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And our lowest scorer will be grounded.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49You guys did post the slowest time in the previous round.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51But it was steady, it was considered.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54What are your tactics for this one? Harry, what are you going to do?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I might speed it up a little bit, but still have loads of control
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and, like, chill out.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01That sounds, that sounds about right. You agree with that?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Yes, chill out, a bit of precision flying, yes.- Excellent. OK, then.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Well, precision flying was one thing we didn't...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I'm not sure we saw a huge amount with Ruby,
0:16:11 > 0:16:16but you posted the fastest time by quite some way.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Are you going to just have the same tactic this time,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21just go for it and see what happens?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Er, well, mainly, probably, because that's why I work best.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27But I do need a bit more precision when you are doing this task,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- because it is harder.- OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Area 51, this challenge, it is difficult.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35And obviously all the balloons are at different heights.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- How are you going to deal with that? - I'll go one by one.- One by one.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Are you going to go sideways, or just stay on one side?- I don't know.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Probably sideways.- Well, the tension up here is palpable.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49There's a hush before the storm, but I think it is going to get
0:16:49 > 0:16:52pretty heated when we kick off, so are you ready?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- ALL:- Yes.- OK, aviators, stand by.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00The Air Marshal and G.U.A.R.D. getting into their
0:17:00 > 0:17:02watchful positions.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Our aviators going through their final preflight checks.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11All desperate to get through to that dogfight at the end.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Aviators, launch in three, two, one.'
0:17:19 > 0:17:23That's it. The command is given, we are underway. Very simple, this.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Just lance five balloons. Easier said than done, though.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Not for Area 51, though, two in a row. My goodness.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Let's have a look at that again. Onboard camera. Right in the middle.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Lovely flying.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Oh, no! So annoying!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Just come back.- Sorry. - Come on, Ruby.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Just starting to lose her cool a little bit. Dad has got a job here.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Nice work.- Oh, I don't like this!
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Oh, she might not like it, but it's effective, whatever she is doing.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Here you come. - You don't have to lance it.
0:17:57 > 0:18:03You can hit it with one of your propellers, though not advisable.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Here comes Master Hawks. Oh. Little head-butt on the pole.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Oh, no.- Oh, you knocked it off.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Goodness, he nearly lanced himself.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Keep going, keep going, that's fine. Take your time. Take your time.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Let's have a little look at that again. Oh, he missed,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22but managed to clip it with the undercarriage.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Oh, he could have got caught up there.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Two, two, one at the moment.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Area 51 go into the lead.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Very clinical from Brandon.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Air Marshall just making sure there is no naughtiness.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41It won't pop. That's because you've got to hit it with the lance.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Come on, Ruby.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49There's all to play for here. Master Hawks on one, though.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Perhaps in the worst position at the moment.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Whoever wins this gets a five-second lead into the dogfight,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59the final game as well, so it is worth winning.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Come on, Team Hornets. Give it a good old thrust.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- No, I'm not going to do it. - Oh, I feel for you, too. Come on.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Oh, he's one upset hornet.- Area 51.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Oh, that was a move from outside the handbook. I think he sat on it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Loads of time. Loads of time, Brandon. Loads of time.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Well, he's doubled what anyone else has at the moment, he's on four.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Just one to go.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29The way his luck's going, he's going
0:19:29 > 0:19:33to get this from whatever angle he wants. Oh, he does as well.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Just gets it on the side. All five.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Well done, Brandon and Mike.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Go take a rest. Yeah, make sure you look good for the cameras, too.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Oh, it's...- That's it, that's it. - Master Hawks, two in a row.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49That was some sweet flying there.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Now the pressure really is on Team Hornets.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Turn around, turn around. - Buzzing around like an angry hornet.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00It's a very suitable animal to choose. Three in three.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Can the Master Hawks finish this off? They're locked and loaded.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Our Air Marshall watching on.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12And there is the onboard camera.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17As that final balloon gets lanced by Master Hawks. Oh, no.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Team Hornets going into a spin here.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Warning, drone out of control.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24'Drone out of control.'
0:20:24 > 0:20:26What the...? What the...? What's it doing?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- Oh, no, what is it doing? - AIR MARSHAL:- 'Warning, crash.'
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I think Dad is getting the blame there.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Well, that one is in the handbook, I'm afraid. It's called crashing.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Ouch. From hero at the first event
0:20:38 > 0:20:42to literally grounded in the second.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Sad for Ruby. A real natural.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47We won't see her in the dogfight, I'm afraid.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Well, that was certainly very exciting.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54It looked really difficult.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Ruby, you were having a few problems actually popping
0:20:56 > 0:20:57some of the balloons.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00One of the balloons, every time I got near to it,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I was probably going so fast that it kept blowing away
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- whenever I tried to pop it. - Classic Ruby.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Just too quick, too quick for your own good.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Air Marshall, sir, can we have the scores?
0:21:11 > 0:21:16It's Area 51 who jousted their way to five balloons.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19They'll take a five-second lead going into the dogfight,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23ahead of Master Hawks who are in second. Four balloons for them.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27And we say goodbye to Team Hornets. Grounded with three.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Thank you, Air Marshal.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Yes, Brandon, Area 51, you are through to the dogfight!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Are you excited?- Yes.- Yes. He is on the inside.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40And, Ruby, Team Hornets, I'm afraid you are grounded.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42But thank you so much for being a great competitor.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Let's give a round of applause, guys.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:46 > 0:21:49And, Master Hawks, you will be in the dogfight against these guys.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50So, good luck.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56No legs. Propeller's broken. Another propeller broken.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59The outer shell came off. What have you got to say to that?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- I crashed it. - Yes, epically, may I add?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05What went wrong out there, because you were going so well?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Well, I was mainly just kind of trying...
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- It is hard when you go quickly.- It is. And we know you like going fast.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14After the assault course, you were so fast.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Thank you very much for being such great contestants.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Mmm, you're welcome. - SHE LAUGHS
0:22:21 > 0:22:22So, it comes to this.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Two teams, two pilots, both worthy victors,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28but one worthier than the other.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It is time for the dogfight.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Our brave aviators must fly through the entry activation gates,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43powering up their advance laser cannons.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Once through, they are contained in a flaming combat zone,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53where they're free to fire away at their opponent.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56The aviators must use all of their piloting skills
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and experience to evade being hit,
0:22:59 > 0:23:05as four direct strikes to the drone will see them grounded.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13So, two surviving teams, but there can only be one victor.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16They are about to battle it out to find out who will fly
0:23:16 > 0:23:18through to the semifinals,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22but first let's see who is going to be patrolling the combat zone.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Patrolling the dogfight, it's the G.U.A.R.D.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Purposeful, solid and imposing, the G.U.A.R.D. functions as a defence
0:23:34 > 0:23:36and patrol-class drone.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Slow and steady, but ever ready.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44So, teams, you've got to remember, if you leave your combat zone,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48our resident drones, they will engage. Are you ready for this?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- ALL:- Yes.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53OK, then. Aviators, for the final time, stand by.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58This is it, the dogfight.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03The final chance, the final showdown to get into the semifinals.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06The Air Marshal, the G.U.A.R.D. He's the boss.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08No-one is running away from this fight.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Master Hawks.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12There is Area 51.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Area 51, takeoff in three, two, one.'
0:24:19 > 0:24:23He gets the start advantage. Here we go. Five seconds.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27He can go through and activate that laser targeting system first.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Once that laser is live,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33he can wheel round and get a shot on Master Hawks,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36who is only getting his laser targeting system sorted.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Fire.- Fire, fire. - Harry not in any danger there.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- And he does get a shot off. - Fire, fire.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- Oh, he is a little trigger-happy. - Fire. Fire.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- The Reds going low.- Down. Fire.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01The Hawks. Oh, it was locked and loaded, but he didn't take a shot.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03And Harry is not happy about that one.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Still, it is all even-stevens at the moment.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Here we go.- Come on, Harry.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Oh, he's got him in his line of sight, but Steve missed it.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Didn't take his chance properly. There's the G.U.A.R.D.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- Oh, he loves a scrap.- Fire. - Oh, Area 51, that was their moment.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Fire, fire.- What you giving out,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Brandon?- Fire, fire.- Precise pilot.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Fire, fire, fire.- Oh, yes.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33And brilliant timing by Mike, what a duo.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- AIR MARSHAL:- Three lives remain.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38So they have lost one of their lives.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Both coming from the undercarriage now.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Can't let that cloud their judgment, they've got to keep cool.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Well, he climbs there. Just to try to get away from Area 51.- Fire.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Oh!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Tags him again. Two lives left. - AIR MARSHAL:- 'Two lives remain.'
0:25:54 > 0:25:57This is where you need a really cool head.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Harry, we are on board with him right now.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Just going up and down, a little peekaboo going on here.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Two lives left for the green team. The reds...
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- zoning in.- Keep moving, keep moving.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Pilot's eye view for the greens.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- And Harry gets tagged again.- Fire!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Fire, dad, come on!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22He wants some shots off here. There is smoke everywhere.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Fire. Fire, fire...
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- He's been tagged again. Oh! - AIR MARSHAL:- 'Great strike.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31'All lives lost. All lives lost.'
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It's all over for the Master Hawks.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- AIR MARSHAL:- 'Dogfight over. Dogfight over.'
0:26:37 > 0:26:40You could hear there, Harry feeling that his wingman just
0:26:40 > 0:26:43wasn't firing enough.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Going up and down, it is so off-putting with all that smoke.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51As for Area 51, they are into the semis.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53And here's confirmation of the dogfight.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Smoking away was Master Hawks, I'm afraid, with zero.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59But smoking hot was Area 51.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03So, the Air Marshal has confirmed that the Master Hawks,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05you are today's runners-up.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Commiserations, Harry, you were fabulous. How was it for you?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11It was quite exciting, it was quite fun, too.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It was super exciting, but, unfortunately,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18we do know what that means. It means you are officially grounded.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Thanks so much, I think a round of applause.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Give them a round of applause. APPLAUSE
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Well done, guys, you were great competitors.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28But, Area 51, Brandon, you were too strong for them.
0:27:28 > 0:27:314-0 in the dogfight. That's got to feel pretty good.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Awesome.- Awesome.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I tell you what, if you were a fighter pilot, you would be an ace.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Well done, you're through to the semifinals.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- Until then, though, let's power down.- And you guys, step up.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
