Welcome to Airmageddon, the ultimate test of airborne skill.

0:00:020:00:06

Four teams and their flying machines are about to go head-to-head

0:00:060:00:10

over a series of three epically tough challenges.

0:00:100:00:14

Each game will see one team grounded,

0:00:140:00:16

and just one team will make it through to the semifinals.

0:00:160:00:20

Here, in our purpose-built Airena, they'll face each other

0:00:200:00:24

and our resident drones,

0:00:240:00:27

a fleet of ferocious, unmanned

0:00:270:00:29

aerial vehicles programmed to shock and awe.

0:00:290:00:33

But who will survive, who will be crowned master of the skies?

0:00:350:00:39

Aviators, stand by.

0:00:390:00:42

This is Airmageddon!

0:00:420:00:45

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:030:01:06

Welcome to Airmageddon, the home of drones,

0:01:060:01:10

-a show you really can count on.

-Yes, we have got one giant Airena.

0:01:100:01:14

-Two presenters.

-Three dimensions of mayhem.

-And four UAVs.

0:01:140:01:19

-Explain, please, Will.

-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Keep up, Rachel.

0:01:190:01:23

Well, I'm already ahead of you, mate, don't worry.

0:01:230:01:25

-Anyway, let's meet our aviators.

-And here they are.

0:01:250:01:29

Entering the Airena, Stealth 2.2.

0:01:290:01:31

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:310:01:33

Followed by the Master Hawks.

0:01:330:01:35

Team Hornets. Last but not least, Area 51.

0:01:350:01:39

So, it's time for our first challenge.

0:01:420:01:44

This one is a real test of precision, speed and

0:01:440:01:47

skill against the clock.

0:01:470:01:49

And they're all pretty confident now, but will they be quite

0:01:490:01:52

so confident when they take on our aerial airsault course?

0:01:520:01:55

Team Stealth 2.2 are up first. They will be setting the pace.

0:01:550:01:59

-Is that a bird or is that a plane?

-Oh, no, that is a pig, actually.

0:01:590:02:04

Come on.

0:02:040:02:06

Yes, swine flu. Not the disease, but his test run.

0:02:060:02:09

Our first challenge, very simple.

0:02:120:02:14

It's an obstacle course, but with a twist or two or three.

0:02:140:02:18

One lap of our vast Airena.

0:02:180:02:21

Aviators must throttle off the launchpad

0:02:210:02:23

and fly through the first narrow gate.

0:02:230:02:26

Hightail it through the hurdles of horror,

0:02:260:02:28

a tricky traverse of coloured bars.

0:02:280:02:31

On to gate two, and then spot your entrance to

0:02:320:02:35

the pillars of precision.

0:02:350:02:36

Past gate three and on to the vortex.

0:02:380:02:42

A whirling wind that can whip you away.

0:02:420:02:44

One final gate...

0:02:460:02:47

And it is a supercharged sprint to the finish line.

0:02:480:02:52

Fastest time wins, slowest time and you're grounded.

0:02:530:02:56

Cheers, Piggy.

0:02:560:02:59

Of course, Pig makes it look easy,

0:02:590:03:00

but that couldn't be further from the truth.

0:03:000:03:03

And to turn something that's difficult into something almost

0:03:030:03:06

impossible, let's see who will be up there with them

0:03:060:03:08

from amongst our resident drones.

0:03:080:03:10

It's the D.R.A.GON.

0:03:140:03:15

Unique, unreliable and unpredictable. Designed to

0:03:150:03:20

act as a heavy-duty attack-style drone with deadly firepower,

0:03:200:03:24

thanks to a front-mounted flame-thrower. Beware of his breath.

0:03:240:03:28

First up is Stealth 2.2.

0:03:300:03:33

Aviator Robert is at the controls, hoping to fly to victory.

0:03:330:03:37

He is aided by wingman Peter.

0:03:370:03:39

Stealth 2.2, they're not flying under any radar with that paint job.

0:03:390:03:43

So, you've drawn the short straw, you're first up.

0:03:440:03:47

-Do you reckon you're going to set the best time?

-Yes. We can do it.

0:03:470:03:51

-We think so.

-Good stuff. Well, we are about to find out, OK?

0:03:510:03:55

Aviators, stand by.

0:03:550:03:56

Start your motors, rev your rotors,

0:03:570:04:01

you are clear for takeoff!

0:04:010:04:02

Time for these boys to propel themselves to greatness.

0:04:040:04:07

There's the D.R.A.GON at the end. He awaits them.

0:04:070:04:10

Air Marshal to start.

0:04:100:04:11

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Aviators, stand by, in three, two, one.'

0:04:110:04:15

This is a tricky airsault course that Stealth 2.2

0:04:170:04:21

must manoeuvre.

0:04:210:04:23

Steady, that's it. Keep it moving.

0:04:230:04:25

Keep the thing moving, don't pause it at any period of time.

0:04:250:04:29

Yes, wingman Peter giving advice.

0:04:290:04:31

Aviator Robert attacking that first game very smoothly.

0:04:310:04:35

Bring it round more, bring it round. This is really good.

0:04:350:04:39

Yes, aerial artistry, if you like. Now the hurdles of horror.

0:04:390:04:44

Whoa, go that way. Yes, to the left, drop it there.

0:04:440:04:47

Yes.

0:04:470:04:49

Oh, no.

0:04:490:04:50

Oh, goodness, he's clipped it. Oh, he is caught as well.

0:04:500:04:53

And he quite literally has to wing it a bit here.

0:04:530:04:56

Oh, and a tap off for the one from behind.

0:04:570:05:01

He must try and stabilise.

0:05:010:05:03

Come on, keep it up. Oh, no.

0:05:030:05:06

I just broke one of them.

0:05:060:05:08

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Drone damaged.'

-Oh, propeller.

0:05:080:05:10

Gravity got the better of them.

0:05:100:05:12

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Drone under cover. Unairworthy.'

0:05:120:05:15

That must hurt. That's it, it's over.

0:05:150:05:17

Guys, unlucky, that was really, really unlucky.

0:05:170:05:21

-You held on to it really well. Are you OK, mate?

-Yeah.

0:05:210:05:25

Are you sure?

0:05:250:05:27

-It's all right, Rob.

-Oh, that's got to herd. Especially for the drone.

0:05:270:05:31

Old Sir Isaac Newton knew a thing or two.

0:05:310:05:34

Gravity, not just a good idea, but the law.

0:05:340:05:37

That was really unlucky. What went wrong for you?

0:05:370:05:40

Well, I thought I was on the other side of the bar so I went down.

0:05:400:05:45

But I was on this side so...

0:05:450:05:46

It is so tricky, the depth perception. Yeah, yeah.

0:05:460:05:49

And the important thing to remember is that you guys did get over

0:05:490:05:52

two of the obstacles,

0:05:520:05:53

so there's still a chance you will remain in the competition.

0:05:530:05:57

Second in the Airena are the Master Hawks.

0:05:580:06:01

Aviator Harry loves steak pie. Don't we all, Harry?

0:06:010:06:04

Harry's dad, Steven, is providing wingman support.

0:06:040:06:07

Release the vibrant green flying machine.

0:06:070:06:11

-Are you hoping to be masters of the airsault course?

-I hope so.

-Yes.

0:06:130:06:17

And how are you feeling about this?

0:06:170:06:18

Have you had a proper look at everything?

0:06:180:06:20

Have you got your tactics worked out?

0:06:200:06:22

Yes, we've got our tactics worked out.

0:06:220:06:23

-We're pretty confident, I think, today.

-Yes, OK?

0:06:230:06:26

Your dad seems really confident.

0:06:260:06:28

And that's making me feel nice and relaxed, OK?

0:06:280:06:30

So let's have a good run, and hopefully you will post a fast time.

0:06:300:06:34

All right, then. Aviators, stand by.

0:06:340:06:36

Master Hawks ready to join the action here in the Airena.

0:06:380:06:42

Stealth 2.2 nervously watching on with Rachel.

0:06:420:06:45

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Launch in three, two, one.'

0:06:470:06:51

Why, thank you, Air Marshal.

0:06:510:06:53

We saw the D.R.A.GON breathing fire at the end of the course.

0:06:530:06:57

Bang in the middle, mate, Good lad. Bang in the middle.

0:06:580:07:01

There you go, mate. Nice and easy. Nice and easy.

0:07:010:07:04

Communications spot on.

0:07:050:07:07

Through the first gate, on to the hurdles of horror.

0:07:070:07:10

That's it, bring it over now.

0:07:120:07:15

This is where the nightmare happened for Stealth 2.2.

0:07:150:07:18

Oh, under that middle one. Spot on.

0:07:180:07:22

Perfect. Bring it back in.

0:07:220:07:24

Good lad. Perfect, mate.

0:07:240:07:26

Now, they must do the ascent over, head towards the next gate.

0:07:260:07:30

As we have a little look back. Poor old Stealth 2.2.

0:07:300:07:34

They know they've been put into the drop zone.

0:07:340:07:37

Concentrate on getting through.

0:07:380:07:39

-You are through, mate, you are through.

-Yes, absolutely spot on.

0:07:390:07:44

Right through the pillars of precision without any trouble.

0:07:440:07:47

On to gate three.

0:07:470:07:48

-Down.

-The Air Marshall watching on. You can hear the noise.

0:07:500:07:52

-They are through that now.

-Down a bit, down a bit. Perfect, perfect.

0:07:520:07:56

-Up, up. Up.

-Almost going through the bottom. Out through the top.

0:07:560:08:00

Near circular motion, 100mph of air.

0:08:000:08:04

And here's the D.R.A.GON!

0:08:040:08:06

Through, through, through. Ignore the drone.

0:08:060:08:09

Right, straight round, straight round. Go, go, go.

0:08:090:08:12

Oh, yes, they've burned past the D.R.A.GON.

0:08:120:08:14

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:170:08:19

Well, they handled that so well,

0:08:190:08:20

especially this mini cyclone of a vortex. Very tricky.

0:08:200:08:24

And then the first team to finish.

0:08:240:08:27

Bravo, Master Hawks.

0:08:280:08:30

02.05, they are top of the airsault leaderboard.

0:08:300:08:33

Stealth 2.2 did not finish, in the drop zone.

0:08:330:08:36

Come in, Master Hawks. Woo, high five! Well done, Dad.

0:08:380:08:42

That was pretty good, Harry. How did it feel?

0:08:420:08:45

-I feel really proud about it.

-The D.R.A.GON was out, wasn't he?

0:08:450:08:49

Did he put you off, was he scaring you?

0:08:490:08:51

Not really, I just tried to blank him out of my mind

0:08:510:08:54

and just focus on my drone.

0:08:540:08:56

Taking on the airsault course next is Team Hornets.

0:08:560:08:59

Piloted by aviator and self-confessed geek Ruby,

0:08:590:09:02

and her wingman dad, Lloyd.

0:09:020:09:06

Will they earn their stripes on the airsault course?

0:09:060:09:09

So, this is a big moment for you. Your first trip out in the Airena.

0:09:120:09:17

-How are you feeling?

-I'm kind of feeling a bit scared

0:09:170:09:20

-because you don't know what is going to happen.

-Lloyd, you're going

0:09:200:09:23

to have to be on hand to help keep her focused on the course.

0:09:230:09:25

-All right, then. You ready to go?

-Yeah.

-Aviators, stand by.

0:09:250:09:29

Well, Ruby's drone obviously modelled on a hornet.

0:09:310:09:34

And not too dissimilar to our own fearsome W.A.S.P.

0:09:340:09:37

But it is the D.R.A.GON she will be facing in the Airena today.

0:09:370:09:40

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Aviators, stand by, launch in three, two, one.'

0:09:400:09:45

Remember, the Hornets have no idea how the others have done.

0:09:460:09:50

Ruby is away. Wow, she's quick.

0:09:500:09:53

Straight to the middle, straight to the middle. Brilliant.

0:09:530:09:56

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Stay on your flight path. Repeat, stay on

0:09:560:09:59

'your flight path.

0:09:590:10:01

-'Stay on your flight path.'

-The Air Marshal just keeping her on track.

0:10:010:10:06

Quite right, she is going very wide there.

0:10:060:10:08

This is a little wild, but it's good so far.

0:10:080:10:11

Very quick indeed.

0:10:110:10:13

Brave, for sure. Gone past Stealth 2.2.

0:10:130:10:17

Perfect, perfect.

0:10:170:10:20

-Up. You got it?

-Well, let's look at that again.

0:10:200:10:23

She is taking a long route round, going very wide there.

0:10:230:10:26

But hey, it's fast. And she's through safely.

0:10:260:10:30

Great skills.

0:10:330:10:34

-This is the bit I have trouble on.

-You are doing brilliant, Ruby.

0:10:380:10:41

And we are coming in towards the vortex now.

0:10:410:10:44

Perhaps the trickiest part of the entire course. Oh, that was close.

0:10:440:10:49

Then she really gained control. And this is really fast.

0:10:500:10:54

She goes very wide again, but straight over the finish line.

0:10:540:10:58

-01:27. Did you see the time?!

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Airsault complete.

0:10:580:11:03

-'Warning, drone down.'

-Wow.

0:11:030:11:06

I give that landing a nine on the Richter scale. Ouch.

0:11:060:11:10

Hit by the vortex there as she came in low.

0:11:100:11:14

And then I think there's a little damage.

0:11:140:11:17

Excuse me, look what you did when you landed your drone.

0:11:170:11:22

Look, it's meant to go on there. You're meant to keep it on there.

0:11:220:11:25

-What do you say to that?

-Er, well,

0:11:250:11:28

after you've tried to finish, you don't really

0:11:280:11:30

think about anything else.

0:11:300:11:32

No, you just crash-landed your hornet there

0:11:320:11:37

epically, and broke its leg.

0:11:370:11:40

When you go fast, it seems more out of control.

0:11:400:11:42

Well, a little bit out of control, but very, very fast indeed.

0:11:440:11:47

Team Hornets, 01:27.

0:11:470:11:50

Well ahead of Master Hawks, but it is

0:11:500:11:52

Stealth 2.2 who didn't finish,

0:11:520:11:55

and currently in the drop zone.

0:11:550:11:56

So, team Area 51.

0:11:580:12:00

Aviator Brandon at the controls, wingman Michael, his stepdad,

0:12:000:12:04

will be cheering him on.

0:12:040:12:06

And there's nothing unidentified about this flying object.

0:12:060:12:11

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:12:110:12:12

So, you're up in the tower for the first time.

0:12:120:12:14

-Is it looking good. Are you feeling comfortable up here?

-Yes.

-Yes?

0:12:140:12:19

I mean, this guy is super cool. Are you feeling as confident as he is?

0:12:190:12:23

-Yes, I think Brandon is going to smash it.

-Yeah?

-Not literally.

-No.

0:12:230:12:27

All right, then. OK, are you ready? Aviators, stand by.

0:12:270:12:31

I hope he hasn't cursed him with that one.

0:12:330:12:35

Let's hope he doesn't smash it.

0:12:350:12:37

Let's see his ultimate mastery.

0:12:370:12:39

That's what he needs.

0:12:410:12:43

Cool and calm at the start.

0:12:430:12:45

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Aviators, launch in three, two, one.'

0:12:450:12:49

Why, thank you, Air Marshal. Here we go.

0:12:500:12:53

Towards this first gate.

0:12:530:12:55

Not the most difficult of the obstacles to go through.

0:12:560:13:01

But when you're this nervous, I'm sure it is.

0:13:020:13:04

Now, on to the hurdles of horror,

0:13:040:13:06

and these are tricky, as we saw with Stealth 2.2.

0:13:060:13:10

Our Air Marshal, you can see,

0:13:100:13:11

watching on, making sure that the course is done properly.

0:13:110:13:15

Now, if they get through and under this second hurdle...

0:13:170:13:20

That is clear, you can bring it up now.

0:13:230:13:24

It is good news, they're going to be going through!

0:13:240:13:27

They don't know that, of course. Up and over,

0:13:270:13:30

towards gate number two.

0:13:300:13:32

If we look back, we can see Stealth 2.2 watching with Rachel.

0:13:340:13:38

That's the moment they realised they were grounded.

0:13:380:13:41

Back towards us.

0:13:440:13:45

Now, into the vortex.

0:13:450:13:48

Coming in low, you must go out high. Very stable.

0:13:490:13:53

-Well held.

-Great stuff, Brandon. Great stuff.

0:13:530:13:57

Yes indeed.

0:13:570:13:58

What does the D.R.A.GON have? He is flaming mad.

0:14:000:14:03

He hasn't bothered anybody yet.

0:14:030:14:06

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:060:14:07

Second place. 01:46.

0:14:070:14:10

That was a really solid one throughout.

0:14:100:14:14

-Well done, Brandon. That was great. How did that feel?

-Awesome.

0:14:140:14:17

It felt awesome? Hey, I didn't notice before,

0:14:170:14:20

but that is quite the impressive red mohawk you've got on there.

0:14:200:14:22

Were you nervous going over the finish line that you might

0:14:220:14:25

-catch fire?

-Um, not really. Tried to go in the middle.

0:14:250:14:29

Yeah, you were going way too quick for that.

0:14:290:14:32

Yes, the might of the mullets gets them into second

0:14:320:14:35

place behind Team Hornets, who were just incredible with 01:27.

0:14:350:14:40

Master Hawks are just going through to the next round.

0:14:400:14:44

And in the drop zone, Stealth 2.2.

0:14:440:14:47

Goodbye, guys.

0:14:470:14:49

We know what that means, don't we? But didn't they do great, everybody?

0:14:490:14:53

I think they deserve a round of applause.

0:14:530:14:55

Stealth 2.2, Peter and Rob,

0:14:550:14:57

you were absolutely brilliant, guys.

0:14:570:15:02

It was really difficult out there.

0:15:020:15:04

But I've got to say, guys, for now you are officially grounded.

0:15:040:15:08

So, we are one team down, but three are still flying high.

0:15:090:15:13

I think it is time we really put them to the test.

0:15:130:15:16

Barrage Balloons.

0:15:180:15:19

Having customised their drones with specialist carbon fibre lances,

0:15:210:15:25

our aviators must attempt to burst their row of coloured balloons.

0:15:250:15:29

If they use their drone to burst them, it still counts.

0:15:290:15:32

But they risk crashing out.

0:15:320:15:34

The two teams that burst the most will fly through to the

0:15:340:15:37

dogfight, and the winner carries forward a five-second advantage.

0:15:370:15:42

And our lowest scorer will be grounded.

0:15:420:15:45

You guys did post the slowest time in the previous round.

0:15:450:15:49

But it was steady, it was considered.

0:15:490:15:51

What are your tactics for this one? Harry, what are you going to do?

0:15:510:15:54

I might speed it up a little bit, but still have loads of control

0:15:540:15:56

and, like, chill out.

0:15:560:15:58

That sounds, that sounds about right. You agree with that?

0:15:580:16:01

-Yes, chill out, a bit of precision flying, yes.

-Excellent. OK, then.

0:16:010:16:04

Well, precision flying was one thing we didn't...

0:16:040:16:08

I'm not sure we saw a huge amount with Ruby,

0:16:080:16:11

but you posted the fastest time by quite some way.

0:16:110:16:16

Are you going to just have the same tactic this time,

0:16:160:16:18

just go for it and see what happens?

0:16:180:16:21

Er, well, mainly, probably, because that's why I work best.

0:16:210:16:24

But I do need a bit more precision when you are doing this task,

0:16:240:16:27

-because it is harder.

-OK.

0:16:270:16:30

Area 51, this challenge, it is difficult.

0:16:300:16:33

And obviously all the balloons are at different heights.

0:16:330:16:35

-How are you going to deal with that?

-I'll go one by one.

-One by one.

0:16:350:16:39

-Are you going to go sideways, or just stay on one side?

-I don't know.

0:16:390:16:43

-Probably sideways.

-Well, the tension up here is palpable.

0:16:430:16:46

There's a hush before the storm, but I think it is going to get

0:16:460:16:49

pretty heated when we kick off, so are you ready?

0:16:490:16:52

-ALL:

-Yes.

-OK, aviators, stand by.

0:16:520:16:54

The Air Marshal and G.U.A.R.D. getting into their

0:16:580:17:00

watchful positions.

0:17:000:17:02

Our aviators going through their final preflight checks.

0:17:020:17:07

All desperate to get through to that dogfight at the end.

0:17:070:17:11

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Aviators, launch in three, two, one.'

0:17:120:17:16

That's it. The command is given, we are underway. Very simple, this.

0:17:190:17:23

Just lance five balloons. Easier said than done, though.

0:17:230:17:27

Not for Area 51, though, two in a row. My goodness.

0:17:270:17:30

Let's have a look at that again. Onboard camera. Right in the middle.

0:17:300:17:35

Lovely flying.

0:17:350:17:37

Oh, no! So annoying!

0:17:370:17:41

-Just come back.

-Sorry.

-Come on, Ruby.

0:17:410:17:44

Just starting to lose her cool a little bit. Dad has got a job here.

0:17:440:17:48

-Nice work.

-Oh, I don't like this!

0:17:480:17:50

Oh, she might not like it, but it's effective, whatever she is doing.

0:17:500:17:54

-Here you come.

-You don't have to lance it.

0:17:540:17:57

You can hit it with one of your propellers, though not advisable.

0:17:570:18:03

Here comes Master Hawks. Oh. Little head-butt on the pole.

0:18:030:18:07

-Oh, no.

-Oh, you knocked it off.

0:18:070:18:09

Goodness, he nearly lanced himself.

0:18:090:18:11

Keep going, keep going, that's fine. Take your time. Take your time.

0:18:110:18:15

Let's have a little look at that again. Oh, he missed,

0:18:160:18:19

but managed to clip it with the undercarriage.

0:18:190:18:22

Oh, he could have got caught up there.

0:18:220:18:25

Two, two, one at the moment.

0:18:250:18:27

Area 51 go into the lead.

0:18:270:18:30

Very clinical from Brandon.

0:18:300:18:33

Air Marshall just making sure there is no naughtiness.

0:18:330:18:36

It won't pop. That's because you've got to hit it with the lance.

0:18:370:18:41

Come on, Ruby.

0:18:410:18:42

There's all to play for here. Master Hawks on one, though.

0:18:450:18:49

Perhaps in the worst position at the moment.

0:18:490:18:51

Whoever wins this gets a five-second lead into the dogfight,

0:18:510:18:54

the final game as well, so it is worth winning.

0:18:540:18:59

Come on, Team Hornets. Give it a good old thrust.

0:18:590:19:02

-No, I'm not going to do it.

-Oh, I feel for you, too. Come on.

0:19:020:19:06

-Oh, he's one upset hornet.

-Area 51.

0:19:090:19:13

Oh, that was a move from outside the handbook. I think he sat on it.

0:19:140:19:18

Loads of time. Loads of time, Brandon. Loads of time.

0:19:180:19:21

Well, he's doubled what anyone else has at the moment, he's on four.

0:19:210:19:24

Just one to go.

0:19:240:19:27

The way his luck's going, he's going

0:19:270:19:29

to get this from whatever angle he wants. Oh, he does as well.

0:19:290:19:33

Just gets it on the side. All five.

0:19:330:19:35

Well done, Brandon and Mike.

0:19:350:19:38

Go take a rest. Yeah, make sure you look good for the cameras, too.

0:19:380:19:41

-Oh, it's...

-That's it, that's it.

-Master Hawks, two in a row.

0:19:410:19:45

That was some sweet flying there.

0:19:450:19:49

Now the pressure really is on Team Hornets.

0:19:490:19:51

-Turn around, turn around.

-Buzzing around like an angry hornet.

0:19:530:19:56

It's a very suitable animal to choose. Three in three.

0:19:560:20:00

Can the Master Hawks finish this off? They're locked and loaded.

0:20:020:20:06

Our Air Marshall watching on.

0:20:060:20:09

And there is the onboard camera.

0:20:090:20:12

As that final balloon gets lanced by Master Hawks. Oh, no.

0:20:120:20:17

Team Hornets going into a spin here.

0:20:170:20:19

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Warning, drone out of control.

0:20:190:20:22

'Drone out of control.'

0:20:220:20:24

What the...? What the...? What's it doing?

0:20:240:20:26

-Oh, no, what is it doing?

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Warning, crash.'

0:20:260:20:30

I think Dad is getting the blame there.

0:20:300:20:32

Well, that one is in the handbook, I'm afraid. It's called crashing.

0:20:320:20:35

Ouch. From hero at the first event

0:20:350:20:38

to literally grounded in the second.

0:20:380:20:42

Sad for Ruby. A real natural.

0:20:420:20:44

We won't see her in the dogfight, I'm afraid.

0:20:440:20:47

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:20:490:20:50

Well, that was certainly very exciting.

0:20:500:20:53

It looked really difficult.

0:20:530:20:54

Ruby, you were having a few problems actually popping

0:20:540:20:56

some of the balloons.

0:20:560:20:57

One of the balloons, every time I got near to it,

0:20:570:21:00

I was probably going so fast that it kept blowing away

0:21:000:21:02

-whenever I tried to pop it.

-Classic Ruby.

0:21:020:21:05

Just too quick, too quick for your own good.

0:21:050:21:08

Air Marshall, sir, can we have the scores?

0:21:080:21:11

It's Area 51 who jousted their way to five balloons.

0:21:110:21:16

They'll take a five-second lead going into the dogfight,

0:21:160:21:19

ahead of Master Hawks who are in second. Four balloons for them.

0:21:190:21:23

And we say goodbye to Team Hornets. Grounded with three.

0:21:230:21:27

Thank you, Air Marshal.

0:21:280:21:29

Yes, Brandon, Area 51, you are through to the dogfight!

0:21:290:21:33

-Are you excited?

-Yes.

-Yes. He is on the inside.

0:21:330:21:36

And, Ruby, Team Hornets, I'm afraid you are grounded.

0:21:360:21:40

But thank you so much for being a great competitor.

0:21:400:21:42

Let's give a round of applause, guys.

0:21:420:21:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:440:21:46

And, Master Hawks, you will be in the dogfight against these guys.

0:21:460:21:49

So, good luck.

0:21:490:21:50

No legs. Propeller's broken. Another propeller broken.

0:21:510:21:56

The outer shell came off. What have you got to say to that?

0:21:560:21:59

-I crashed it.

-Yes, epically, may I add?

0:21:590:22:02

What went wrong out there, because you were going so well?

0:22:020:22:05

Well, I was mainly just kind of trying...

0:22:050:22:09

-It is hard when you go quickly.

-It is. And we know you like going fast.

0:22:090:22:13

After the assault course, you were so fast.

0:22:130:22:14

Thank you very much for being such great contestants.

0:22:140:22:17

-Mmm, you're welcome.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:22:170:22:20

So, it comes to this.

0:22:210:22:22

Two teams, two pilots, both worthy victors,

0:22:220:22:25

but one worthier than the other.

0:22:250:22:28

It is time for the dogfight.

0:22:280:22:30

Our brave aviators must fly through the entry activation gates,

0:22:370:22:40

powering up their advance laser cannons.

0:22:400:22:43

Once through, they are contained in a flaming combat zone,

0:22:450:22:49

where they're free to fire away at their opponent.

0:22:490:22:53

The aviators must use all of their piloting skills

0:22:530:22:56

and experience to evade being hit,

0:22:560:22:59

as four direct strikes to the drone will see them grounded.

0:22:590:23:05

So, two surviving teams, but there can only be one victor.

0:23:070:23:13

They are about to battle it out to find out who will fly

0:23:130:23:16

through to the semifinals,

0:23:160:23:18

but first let's see who is going to be patrolling the combat zone.

0:23:180:23:22

Patrolling the dogfight, it's the G.U.A.R.D.

0:23:260:23:29

Purposeful, solid and imposing, the G.U.A.R.D. functions as a defence

0:23:290:23:34

and patrol-class drone.

0:23:340:23:36

Slow and steady, but ever ready.

0:23:360:23:39

So, teams, you've got to remember, if you leave your combat zone,

0:23:400:23:44

our resident drones, they will engage. Are you ready for this?

0:23:440:23:48

-ALL:

-Yes.

0:23:480:23:50

OK, then. Aviators, for the final time, stand by.

0:23:500:23:53

This is it, the dogfight.

0:23:550:23:58

The final chance, the final showdown to get into the semifinals.

0:23:580:24:03

The Air Marshal, the G.U.A.R.D. He's the boss.

0:24:030:24:06

No-one is running away from this fight.

0:24:060:24:08

Master Hawks.

0:24:080:24:10

There is Area 51.

0:24:100:24:12

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Area 51, takeoff in three, two, one.'

0:24:140:24:19

He gets the start advantage. Here we go. Five seconds.

0:24:190:24:23

He can go through and activate that laser targeting system first.

0:24:230:24:27

Once that laser is live,

0:24:280:24:30

he can wheel round and get a shot on Master Hawks,

0:24:300:24:33

who is only getting his laser targeting system sorted.

0:24:330:24:36

-Fire.

-Fire, fire.

-Harry not in any danger there.

0:24:400:24:44

-And he does get a shot off.

-Fire, fire.

0:24:440:24:46

-Oh, he is a little trigger-happy.

-Fire. Fire.

0:24:460:24:50

-The Reds going low.

-Down. Fire.

0:24:530:24:56

The Hawks. Oh, it was locked and loaded, but he didn't take a shot.

0:24:570:25:01

And Harry is not happy about that one.

0:25:010:25:03

Still, it is all even-stevens at the moment.

0:25:030:25:07

-Here we go.

-Come on, Harry.

0:25:070:25:09

Oh, he's got him in his line of sight, but Steve missed it.

0:25:090:25:12

Didn't take his chance properly. There's the G.U.A.R.D.

0:25:120:25:16

-Oh, he loves a scrap.

-Fire.

-Oh, Area 51, that was their moment.

0:25:160:25:20

-Fire, fire.

-What you giving out,

0:25:200:25:22

-Brandon?

-Fire, fire.

-Precise pilot.

0:25:220:25:25

-Fire, fire, fire.

-Oh, yes.

0:25:270:25:30

And brilliant timing by Mike, what a duo.

0:25:300:25:33

-AIR MARSHAL:

-Three lives remain.

0:25:330:25:35

So they have lost one of their lives.

0:25:350:25:38

Both coming from the undercarriage now.

0:25:380:25:40

Can't let that cloud their judgment, they've got to keep cool.

0:25:400:25:43

-Well, he climbs there. Just to try to get away from Area 51.

-Fire.

0:25:450:25:49

Oh!

0:25:490:25:50

-Tags him again. Two lives left.

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Two lives remain.'

0:25:500:25:54

This is where you need a really cool head.

0:25:540:25:57

Harry, we are on board with him right now.

0:25:570:26:00

Just going up and down, a little peekaboo going on here.

0:26:000:26:04

Two lives left for the green team. The reds...

0:26:040:26:08

-zoning in.

-Keep moving, keep moving.

0:26:080:26:11

Pilot's eye view for the greens.

0:26:110:26:14

-And Harry gets tagged again.

-Fire!

0:26:140:26:17

Fire, dad, come on!

0:26:170:26:19

He wants some shots off here. There is smoke everywhere.

0:26:190:26:22

Fire. Fire, fire...

0:26:240:26:25

-He's been tagged again. Oh!

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Great strike.

0:26:250:26:29

'All lives lost. All lives lost.'

0:26:290:26:31

It's all over for the Master Hawks.

0:26:310:26:34

-AIR MARSHAL:

-'Dogfight over. Dogfight over.'

0:26:340:26:37

You could hear there, Harry feeling that his wingman just

0:26:370:26:40

wasn't firing enough.

0:26:400:26:43

Going up and down, it is so off-putting with all that smoke.

0:26:430:26:47

As for Area 51, they are into the semis.

0:26:470:26:51

And here's confirmation of the dogfight.

0:26:510:26:53

Smoking away was Master Hawks, I'm afraid, with zero.

0:26:530:26:57

But smoking hot was Area 51.

0:26:570:26:59

So, the Air Marshal has confirmed that the Master Hawks,

0:26:590:27:03

you are today's runners-up.

0:27:030:27:05

Commiserations, Harry, you were fabulous. How was it for you?

0:27:050:27:09

It was quite exciting, it was quite fun, too.

0:27:090:27:11

It was super exciting, but, unfortunately,

0:27:110:27:14

we do know what that means. It means you are officially grounded.

0:27:140:27:18

Thanks so much, I think a round of applause.

0:27:180:27:21

Give them a round of applause. APPLAUSE

0:27:210:27:22

Well done, guys, you were great competitors.

0:27:220:27:25

But, Area 51, Brandon, you were too strong for them.

0:27:250:27:28

4-0 in the dogfight. That's got to feel pretty good.

0:27:280:27:31

-Awesome.

-Awesome.

0:27:310:27:33

I tell you what, if you were a fighter pilot, you would be an ace.

0:27:330:27:37

Well done, you're through to the semifinals.

0:27:370:27:39

-Until then, though, let's power down.

-And you guys, step up.

0:27:390:27:43
