Airmaggedon, a land of aviation expertise.

0:00:020:00:05

Over two series, there have been supreme battles,

0:00:050:00:07

crashes galore and incredible aerial manoeuvres.

0:00:070:00:11

Today, the best of the best return to the Airena to take on each other

0:00:110:00:15

and the resident drones with just one aim,

0:00:150:00:17

to become the champion of champions.

0:00:170:00:20

This is Airmaggedon.

0:00:200:00:22

Welcome back to the Airena for what promises to be a very special

0:00:450:00:51

-air-dition of the show.

-On the bill tonight,

0:00:510:00:52

three air-ward categories celebrating the very best of

0:00:520:00:56

Airmaggedon, a demonstration of drone destruction

0:00:560:00:58

and two brand-new events.

0:00:580:01:00

But don't blink, or you'll miss the first of our new competitions.

0:01:000:01:03

Yes, all of our aviators have excelled in the Airena.

0:01:030:01:07

Some of them have flown with real skill,

0:01:070:01:09

some have demonstrated sensational style but for breathless excitement,

0:01:090:01:13

we need speed.

0:01:130:01:14

Four of our least patient and most confident aviators are returning

0:01:140:01:17

to the Airsault course to decide once and for all

0:01:170:01:21

who maxes out on velocity.

0:01:210:01:23

BOTH: Let's meet our aviators.

0:01:230:01:26

The first of four superfast returning Airsault teams are

0:01:260:01:29

Hurricane, led by aviator Abs and wing dad, Abdullah.

0:01:290:01:33

Series finalists, This Way Up, are back for an encore.

0:01:330:01:35

It's Tom and wing bro Toby from Bognor.

0:01:350:01:38

Bristol boys Brendan and Rhys have sped back, as has their drone,

0:01:380:01:42

Stealth, and Army Paws complete our top speed line-up.

0:01:420:01:45

It's Ellie and Nathaniel.

0:01:450:01:46

They've proved their speed before but can they prove it again?

0:01:480:01:51

The course record, set by Team Vortex, is one minute 33.

0:01:510:01:55

Will that record fall as we take on the Airsault course with our fastest

0:01:550:02:00

fliers of the second series?

0:02:000:02:01

Let's find out.

0:02:010:02:03

Our first returning Airsaultists returning our Team Hurricane.

0:02:030:02:06

Abs is at the controls.

0:02:060:02:07

Wing dad Abdullah is his spare set of eyes.

0:02:070:02:10

Hurricane lived up to their name in the heats by blowing their way

0:02:100:02:13

around in a mind-boggling one minute 35.

0:02:130:02:15

That is abs-normally good.

0:02:150:02:18

Can they repeat it today or go even faster?

0:02:180:02:21

Well, I've got the first of our Airsault aces up here.

0:02:240:02:27

It's Team Hurricane.

0:02:270:02:29

Abs and Abdullah. Welcome back, Abs.

0:02:290:02:31

How good is it to be back?

0:02:310:02:32

-It's absolutely amazing.

-Brilliant.

0:02:320:02:35

Wing dad, what advice have you been giving Abs for that?

0:02:350:02:38

I don't think he needs any advice from me.

0:02:380:02:40

He just does his thing and that's it.

0:02:400:02:42

You hear that, Abs? You're the boss, mate.

0:02:420:02:45

So let's set a really fast time.

0:02:450:02:46

OK, aviators, standby.

0:02:460:02:50

Rev up your rotors, you're cleared for takeoff.

0:02:500:02:53

Abs and Abdullah assume the position.

0:02:530:02:55

Let me remind you that they are one of the quickest teams

0:02:550:02:58

this tournament has ever seen. Will they go quicker today?

0:02:580:03:02

Three, two, one.

0:03:020:03:06

And in classic Airsault style, Hurricane takeoff upwards.

0:03:070:03:11

Abs is efficiently calm and wing dad Abdullah must be helping

0:03:110:03:14

telepathically, cos he ain't saying a word.

0:03:140:03:19

Gate one, check.

0:03:190:03:20

This is deja vu for the South London massive.

0:03:200:03:23

Been here, done this before and they're looking good right now.

0:03:230:03:25

Nothing can go wrong here.

0:03:250:03:27

Abs approaches the first letterbox.

0:03:280:03:30

Too high. He retreats.

0:03:300:03:32

Abs approaches the first letterbox again.

0:03:320:03:34

Too high, he retreats.

0:03:340:03:36

Abs approaches the first letterbox.

0:03:360:03:38

-Well done.

-Bingo.

0:03:380:03:39

Third time lucky. But that would have slowed him down somewhat.

0:03:390:03:42

Abs approaches the third letterbox.

0:03:440:03:45

He's hit it and retreats.

0:03:470:03:49

Any damage?

0:03:490:03:50

Don't adjust your sets. Abs approaches the third letterbox.

0:03:510:03:54

He has hit it and retreats.

0:03:540:03:56

Any damage?

0:03:560:03:57

Abs approaches the third letterbox.

0:03:590:04:01

He's through. Third time lucky again.

0:04:010:04:03

Three certainly is his magic number.

0:04:030:04:06

Through the gate and Hurricane locks horns with the AM.

0:04:070:04:10

Foggy corridor now. Plenty have faltered here in the past but Abs

0:04:130:04:17

isn't one of them. Will he need three attempts at it, though?

0:04:170:04:20

That's the question.

0:04:200:04:21

No, I think he only needs the one attempt.

0:04:210:04:24

By that I mean he's thwacked a pillar

0:04:240:04:26

and gone down like a sack of spuds.

0:04:260:04:28

I fear the end is nigh for Abs here.

0:04:280:04:30

-Is it stuck?

-No, it's broken, Abdullah.

0:04:300:04:32

Abs was suffering from nerves or crazy flying syndrome.

0:04:350:04:39

He had several near misses early on but Hurricane picked the wrong

0:04:390:04:43

pillar to have a fight with.

0:04:430:04:44

There was only going to be one winner there.

0:04:440:04:46

You've crashed out in style as one of the fastest fliers.

0:04:460:04:50

-How does that feel?

-I'm still quite happy because at least I didn't lose

0:04:500:04:56

my record on the last round.

0:04:560:04:58

Absolutely, and, you know, if you're going to crash, make it a good one.

0:04:580:05:02

-What went wrong, Abs?

-It's because in the last round,

0:05:020:05:04

I did a yaw and I didn't go too fast around that part

0:05:040:05:09

and I forgot to do a yaw and went too fast.

0:05:090:05:11

Remember that. You are a fastest flier and that's something that's

0:05:110:05:15

not going to be taken away from you.

0:05:150:05:17

Well said, Rachel.

0:05:170:05:18

Our next speedy fliers are This Way Up.

0:05:180:05:20

It's a family affair with aviator Tom and his little bro, Toby.

0:05:200:05:24

Why are they here? Well, in the heats,

0:05:240:05:26

they did the course in one minute 48.

0:05:260:05:28

In the semis, one minute 38 and in the final, one minute 28.

0:05:280:05:32

So, going by that, they'll complete today in one minute 18.

0:05:320:05:35

-Bring it.

-This is going to be easy for you, right?

0:05:350:05:38

You've gone through the pressure of a grand final.

0:05:380:05:41

Yeah, I guess so, but there wasn't really much pressure because we're

0:05:410:05:45

still in the competition, even if we crash, but, yeah,

0:05:450:05:47

we're going to give it our all in this one as well.

0:05:470:05:49

This one's all about having fun and just getting round as quickly as you

0:05:490:05:52

-can, right, Toby?

-Yeah.

0:05:520:05:53

-Basically, just the same thing again.

-Same thing again.

0:05:530:05:56

I mean, you guys have done it so many times, you could probably do it

0:05:560:05:58

with your eyes closed. In fact, maybe you should try that.

0:05:580:06:00

-Just to make it more interesting!

-Yeah, maybe we should try that.

0:06:000:06:03

All right, are you ready to fly again on Airmaggedon?

0:06:030:06:06

-BOTH: Yeah.

-Great. Aviators, standby.

0:06:060:06:10

Rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff.

0:06:100:06:14

This Way Up are in position and mentally preparing.

0:06:140:06:17

We've had one crash so far.

0:06:170:06:18

We don't need another. Can someone please count backwards.

0:06:180:06:21

Three, two, one.

0:06:230:06:26

No pressure of an Airmaggedon world trophy today but they still want to

0:06:270:06:32

impress here.

0:06:320:06:33

These guys are speedy.

0:06:340:06:35

Some of the quickest in the entire world, Will,

0:06:350:06:38

but a bit of a wobble at the pillars, though.

0:06:380:06:40

Steady, Tom, you don't want to do an Abs, mate.

0:06:400:06:42

Come on. You take too much time on this bit, go down.

0:06:430:06:45

Toby is certainly after another quick time,

0:06:450:06:48

egging Tom on like an extra large omelette.

0:06:480:06:50

And it's backfired, as Tom overshoots the second letterbox.

0:06:520:06:55

Kind of clumsy, that.

0:06:550:06:56

Up.

0:06:570:06:58

Oh, no.

0:06:590:07:00

Abs is obviously gutted for This Way Up.

0:07:020:07:04

That was a catastrophe.

0:07:040:07:05

They hit the upper crossbar on the third letterbox and they are down.

0:07:050:07:09

Tom never looked as composed as he usually does and their flight was

0:07:090:07:13

brought to a premature end when they struck that third letterbox.

0:07:130:07:16

Not so much This Way Up.

0:07:160:07:17

More This Way Up Ended.

0:07:170:07:19

Tom, what happened?

0:07:190:07:21

I just lost control of it.

0:07:210:07:22

It's all good though. Trying to get a good time but I've still got one

0:07:220:07:26

of the fastest times, but, you know.

0:07:260:07:28

It's all right. It is what it is.

0:07:280:07:30

Toby, what do you think happened out there?

0:07:300:07:32

Didn't give him as much courage, kind of, didn't really work out.

0:07:320:07:35

So, as it stands, the team who flew before you actually crashed out

0:07:350:07:40

at a later stage in the competition,

0:07:400:07:42

so it does mean you both crashed but you are in second position.

0:07:420:07:45

Maybe everyone's going to crash.

0:07:450:07:47

We just don't know.

0:07:470:07:48

Come on, Rachel, they can't possibly all crash, can they?

0:07:490:07:53

Anyway, even though neither team has completed the course yet,

0:07:530:07:55

Abs and Team Hurricane are top as they got further around it before

0:07:550:07:59

they smashed and trashed.

0:07:590:08:01

Hoping to set a trend by actually completing the Airsault course today

0:08:010:08:05

are Stealth.

0:08:050:08:06

It's everyone's favourite West Country warriors and day-to-day

0:08:060:08:09

best mates, Brendan and wing dude Rhys.

0:08:090:08:12

They demoed great skill and technique in the heats when they

0:08:120:08:15

posted a bonza time of one minute 49.

0:08:150:08:17

Stealth by name, stealth by nature.

0:08:170:08:19

How excited are you to get back out on that course and just go for it?

0:08:200:08:23

-Really excited.

-Yeah?

0:08:230:08:25

It'll just feel amazing.

0:08:250:08:27

To be back here is just great.

0:08:270:08:29

All right, then. Aviators, standby.

0:08:290:08:31

Rev up your rotors, you are cleared for takeoff.

0:08:320:08:35

I'm not sure why I bothered getting up so early to put up the second

0:08:350:08:38

half of the course this morning.

0:08:380:08:39

No-one's even got close to getting there yet.

0:08:390:08:41

Oh, well.

0:08:410:08:42

Three, two, one.

0:08:430:08:46

What are the chances of Stealth crashing?

0:08:460:08:49

36%.

0:08:490:08:50

-Gulp.

-That's good, that's good.

0:08:500:08:52

-Go through.

-Well, first gate dispatched with ease.

0:08:520:08:56

Stealth, loving this.

0:08:560:08:57

Pillars of precision precisely dissected.

0:08:570:08:59

This is good. This is quick.

0:08:590:09:01

-Come up, come up.

-This is going to be the first finish of the day,

0:09:010:09:03

I can feel it in my waters, and my waters have never been wrong before.

0:09:030:09:06

So...

0:09:060:09:08

Oh, no! Holy Christmas, Stealth have come a cropper too.

0:09:080:09:14

I'm lost for words.

0:09:140:09:15

Replay, you illustrate what happened there, please.

0:09:150:09:17

Thank you. Good.

0:09:170:09:19

What have we got to say about that?

0:09:190:09:21

Oh, I'm not really happy with that.

0:09:210:09:24

All three of you have gone down in flames, guys.

0:09:240:09:28

This is the fastest flyers not the best crash flyers.

0:09:280:09:31

What are you all doing?

0:09:310:09:33

I don't know, I think we're just trying to beat our times.

0:09:330:09:36

But, there is still one team left.

0:09:360:09:40

It's the Army Paws and even if Ellie takes a whole day to fly around

0:09:400:09:43

the course, she'll still be today's fastest flyer.

0:09:430:09:46

Three letters on our leaderboard computer are really taking a

0:09:480:09:51

battering today. D, N and F.

0:09:510:09:53

Did Not Finish. Not one team has crossed the finish line yet but Abs

0:09:530:09:57

still leads with Hurricane having travelled the furthest around.

0:09:570:10:00

Can our last Airsaulters fare better?

0:10:000:10:03

Remember, they know nothing of the previous crashes.

0:10:030:10:06

It's a warm welcome back to the arena for Army Paws.

0:10:060:10:09

Aviator Ellie and wing man Nathaniel are bezzies and our only hope of

0:10:090:10:13

someone completing this course today.

0:10:130:10:15

They did that in the heats and in good time too.

0:10:150:10:17

One minute 43. Speedy McSpeed Face.

0:10:170:10:20

So, Ellie, this is

0:10:200:10:22

your first time out there flying on the super-sized Airsault course.

0:10:220:10:25

How are you feeling about it?

0:10:250:10:26

Pretty confident.

0:10:260:10:27

The only one I'm going to worry about is the vortex,

0:10:270:10:31

as it's twice as high.

0:10:310:10:33

Yeah, and that height does make it tricky.

0:10:330:10:34

Nathanial, I know you were worried about that too.

0:10:340:10:37

How are you going to help her through it?

0:10:370:10:38

Just make sure that she stays level and tell her if she's

0:10:380:10:41

-going off course a bit.

-That's good. An extra pair of eyes.

0:10:410:10:43

Aviators, standby.

0:10:430:10:46

Rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff.

0:10:460:10:48

It's final checks time for the Army Paws.

0:10:480:10:51

They really want to finish this course and I really want them to

0:10:510:10:54

as well or we're going to have to rename the show Groundmageddon,

0:10:540:10:57

which sounds rubbish.

0:10:570:10:58

Three, two, one.

0:11:000:11:02

So, all hopes of someone completing the course are on the person who

0:11:040:11:06

crashed into the control tower in her heat.

0:11:060:11:09

Gate completed. Come on, Ellie, you can do this.

0:11:110:11:14

-Move round with the course, Ellie.

-I'm trying.

-All right.

0:11:140:11:16

I'm only trying to help. Give a commentator a break, dude.

0:11:160:11:19

As long as I keep out, I'm fine, OK.

0:11:190:11:22

You don't need to worry.

0:11:230:11:25

Don't need to worry? We've had three crashes from three so far and you

0:11:250:11:28

tell us not to worry? I can't help it.

0:11:280:11:29

My nerves are shot. I need to sit down.

0:11:290:11:32

Oh, I am sat down.

0:11:320:11:33

Oh, no, I can't believe it.

0:11:360:11:39

It's happened again.

0:11:390:11:40

Bingo, full house, another one down.

0:11:400:11:43

And that, my viewing friends, is an Airmaggedon world first.

0:11:430:11:46

No-one has finished the Airsault.

0:11:460:11:47

Did someone make the course too hard or something?

0:11:470:11:50

We don't need to see another crash.

0:11:500:11:52

Here's a nice shot of the finishing line.

0:11:520:11:53

No-one's seen that today. OK, then, here's Ellie's crash again,

0:11:530:11:56

all right?

0:11:560:11:57

There we go.

0:11:570:11:59

Well, this leaderboard won't take long.

0:12:010:12:02

No-one finished and Team Hurricane win by virtue of getting

0:12:020:12:06

the furthest round before crashing.

0:12:060:12:08

They must be very proud.

0:12:080:12:09

So, still to come, the best of the action from eight heats,

0:12:090:12:13

two semifinals and our grand final.

0:12:130:12:15

And we'll be unleashing some of our resident drones on the Airena for

0:12:150:12:19

what is certain to be an unmissable new event.

0:12:190:12:22

But, for now, it's time for the first of our awards.

0:12:220:12:24

Yes, thank you, Rachel.

0:12:240:12:25

When our aviators crash out of the competition,

0:12:250:12:28

they really crash out of the competition.

0:12:280:12:31

Which is why this is our crash of the competition award.

0:12:310:12:34

And the nominees are...

0:12:340:12:36

Air Flames take nomination number one.

0:12:360:12:39

They perform the lesser spotted crash, get stuck.

0:12:390:12:42

-It's not coming off.

-Free yourself.

0:12:420:12:44

Crash again. Manoeuvre.

0:12:440:12:46

And there's no forgetting Bad Wolf who followed the old adage,

0:12:470:12:50

if I'm going down, I'm taking everyone with me.

0:12:500:12:53

In this instance, the Air Marshal.

0:12:530:12:56

Third nom goes to Army Paws.

0:12:560:12:57

Ellie somehow managed to hit the one obstacle in the massive,

0:12:570:13:01

otherwise empty Airena, the control tower.

0:13:010:13:04

SHE SCREAMS

0:13:040:13:05

Harvir and Sky Surf also had an incident with a pillar and a bug

0:13:060:13:12

and a light and the floor.

0:13:120:13:13

Ooh!

0:13:130:13:15

Flying Foxes can also consider themselves nominated,

0:13:150:13:18

not because of the severity of their crash but the sheer amount of prangs

0:13:180:13:22

they had.

0:13:220:13:23

And the winner is...

0:13:250:13:27

The Bad Wolf!

0:13:280:13:30

Congratulations to Joshua and Matt!

0:13:300:13:32

Yes, well done to the Bad Wolf, who lived up to their name, there,

0:13:320:13:35

when they brought down that big fella.

0:13:350:13:37

I had to take AM to the doctor myself after that.

0:13:370:13:39

We were hours in A&E.

0:13:390:13:41

And now it's time to crash right back into the action

0:13:410:13:44

with our main event.

0:13:440:13:45

Yes, four more teams are about to return to the Airena.

0:13:450:13:48

They're all finalists from our first two series and they'll be competing

0:13:480:13:52

in a brand-new dogfight tournament

0:13:520:13:54

to be crowned our champion of champions.

0:13:540:13:56

You know the dogfight play by now.

0:13:570:13:58

In a nutshell, it's this -

0:13:580:14:00

aviators must hit the centres of their nemesis four times

0:14:000:14:03

cos that equals a win.

0:14:030:14:05

Whilst doing that, they mustn't get hit four times themselves.

0:14:050:14:07

As ever, we've added laser traces for your viewing pleasure

0:14:070:14:10

and avoiding the bothersome resident drones is also a sound idea.

0:14:100:14:13

And today's resident botherer is twofold

0:14:160:14:19

cos this show is special, right?

0:14:190:14:21

Bouncy? No. Beautiful?

0:14:210:14:22

Not so much. The business?

0:14:220:14:24

Indeed. It's the dragon and guard combo.

0:14:240:14:27

-Here are our teams.

-First up, Q Rex, George and Clive.

0:14:270:14:31

So, guys, you've had a bit of time to prepare for this after your

0:14:310:14:34

previous victory in series one.

0:14:340:14:36

What kind of training have you been doing?

0:14:360:14:38

I've been practising flying side on ready for this.

0:14:380:14:40

Our champions from series one, they seem ready.

0:14:400:14:43

Are you feeling intimidated This Way Up?

0:14:430:14:46

No, not really. We're quite good at

0:14:460:14:47

the dogfight and we're feeling really confident.

0:14:470:14:50

Toby, are you ready for that button to help your brother out?

0:14:500:14:52

-Yeah.

-Yes, I think so too.

0:14:520:14:54

Here's what happened when these two teams took to the skies.

0:14:550:14:58

There was no head start, so both took to the air at the same time.

0:14:580:15:02

It was Q Rex first into position and Clive's fast fingers gave them

0:15:020:15:06

the early lead, 1-0.

0:15:060:15:08

Tom and This Way Up aren't used to losing though,

0:15:080:15:10

and after an aerial display not dissimilar to kites

0:15:100:15:12

in a force ten gale,

0:15:120:15:14

they smacked Q Rex with this doozy.

0:15:140:15:17

1-1 was soon to become 2-1 to This Way Up, courtesy of this laser show.

0:15:170:15:22

It was soon 3-1 when George was slam-dunked by Tom's quick descent

0:15:220:15:26

from roof to floor.

0:15:260:15:28

Q Rex have lost a third life!

0:15:280:15:29

But if there's one thing you need to know about Q Rex,

0:15:300:15:33

it's that they never give up.

0:15:330:15:34

This zinger got them back to 3-2.

0:15:340:15:36

Can they make it level?

0:15:360:15:38

But This Way Up had the last laugh in this semifinal, though.

0:15:390:15:42

I think that's it.

0:15:420:15:43

So a 4-2 victory for This Way Up sees them through to the champion of

0:15:460:15:49

champions final, but who will they meet there?

0:15:490:15:52

Contesting the title, two familiar teams.

0:15:520:15:55

Great to see you both again.

0:15:550:15:56

Suffolk Air Squad and Team Vortex.

0:15:560:15:59

Now, you guys are fresh from being crowned series two

0:15:590:16:03

Airmageddon champions.

0:16:030:16:04

What's it like being back here already?

0:16:040:16:06

It's great to be back here and I can't wait to get out and fly.

0:16:060:16:08

Excellent.

0:16:080:16:09

Well, SAS, Suffolk Air Squad, Guy and Richard,

0:16:090:16:12

-how are you feeling about taking them on?

-Well, nervous.

0:16:120:16:15

All right, then, let's get this dogfight underway.

0:16:150:16:19

There's no prizes for looking pretty here.

0:16:210:16:23

This is the dogfight and Vortex and SAS were both keen to join

0:16:230:16:27

This Way Up in the champion of champions final.

0:16:270:16:29

Vortex wasted no time in going aerial and skipping through the gate

0:16:290:16:33

and were first to strike and first on the scoreboard.

0:16:330:16:36

1-0 already for team Vortex.

0:16:360:16:38

Guy and Richard soon got their serious faces on though and levelled

0:16:380:16:41

things up with this beaut!

0:16:410:16:43

-Oh! 1-1.

-Things were only level pegging for seconds,

0:16:430:16:47

before Vortex struck for the second time.

0:16:470:16:49

It's all going off now in the Airena!

0:16:490:16:51

Not major fans of losing, SAS replied once again.

0:16:510:16:55

Vortex got zapped.

0:16:550:16:56

So even!

0:16:560:16:57

It was breakneck stuff and SAS nearly broke Vortex's neck as they

0:16:570:17:02

took the lead for the first time.

0:17:020:17:03

-All over the place.

-Some zapping wizardry from Christian and some

0:17:040:17:08

skilled piloting from Joel brought the score to 3-3.

0:17:080:17:10

Your right, your right.

0:17:110:17:12

The next strike would decide it.

0:17:120:17:14

-Come on, Dad!

-Then this happened.

0:17:160:17:17

Both hit seemingly at the same time.

0:17:170:17:20

-I think we won.

-I don't know.

0:17:200:17:22

-Don't know who got that.

-We had to resort to this hi-tech,

0:17:220:17:25

super slow-mo to clear things up.

0:17:250:17:28

SAS and Vortex both zapped within a hundredth of a second of each other

0:17:280:17:32

but who hit first?

0:17:320:17:33

SAS did, they pipped Vortex to the post by the closest of margins.

0:17:340:17:38

Suffolk Air Squad are through to the final.

0:17:380:17:40

See how they get on in a little while.

0:17:400:17:43

Time to calm things down a little with the next of our air awards.

0:17:430:17:47

And it won't have escaped your attention that there have been some

0:17:470:17:49

extremely high standards of design throughout the whole competition.

0:17:490:17:52

So to recognise this fact, it's time

0:17:520:17:55

to announce the nominees for Airmageddon's next top flying model.

0:17:550:18:00

Our first nominee is Dragon Eye,

0:18:000:18:02

who impressed the judges with their eye-catching heat press mould.

0:18:020:18:05

Next up are Jimmy Rustler's Airborne.

0:18:050:18:07

Silly name but exquisite design.

0:18:070:18:10

Tidal Waves made a splash when they appeared on the show.

0:18:100:18:13

There's nothing fishy about this design.

0:18:130:18:14

It's dolphin-tastic!

0:18:140:18:16

Arachnerds are our next well-deserved nominee.

0:18:160:18:18

I knew pigs could fly but hairy spiders, perish the thought!

0:18:180:18:22

Our final nominee is J Force 2.

0:18:220:18:24

It's a yellow flying tank.

0:18:240:18:26

-What's not to like?

-And the winner is...

0:18:260:18:29

..Jimmy Rustler's Airborne!

0:18:300:18:32

Congratulations to Jimmy Rustler's Airborne, Gregor and Thomas!

0:18:320:18:37

A yellow dragon design, complete with scales was

0:18:370:18:39

a sight to behold in the Airena, like a giant fire-breathing banana.

0:18:390:18:44

Time now for a resident drone demo.

0:18:440:18:47

A totally new event,

0:18:470:18:48

where we put the big boys of the Airena through their paces.

0:18:480:18:52

Yes, three of our resident drones have agreed to go head-to-head in

0:18:520:18:55

one of our favourite games of the series.

0:18:550:18:57

It's time for Wall Busters.

0:18:570:18:59

Take three resident drones with attitude,

0:19:020:19:04

put them near three walls of bricks and see who can knock them down

0:19:040:19:08

the fastest. There's no prize but there's a lot of pride at stake.

0:19:080:19:11

No-one wants to come bottom of the pecking order in this game.

0:19:110:19:14

OK, our resident drones are lined up to take out another brick

0:19:160:19:20

in the wall. Expect chaos and carnage, expect the unexpected.

0:19:200:19:25

Welcome to Wall Busters.

0:19:250:19:27

The resident drones have all done their stretches.

0:19:270:19:29

DRAGON, there, sizing up the task ahead of him.

0:19:290:19:32

A brick wall, mate.

0:19:320:19:33

A GUARD who's been especially adapted with a bumper

0:19:330:19:35

for the occasion.

0:19:350:19:36

Very fetching indeed.

0:19:360:19:39

And, WASP, what's he planning, I wonder?

0:19:390:19:40

Knocking the bricks over with his sting of sparks!

0:19:400:19:43

Letting the drones go in three, two...

0:19:430:19:48

Wait for it...

0:19:480:19:49

..one!

0:19:500:19:52

And off we go!

0:19:520:19:53

I'm not sure what WASP is playing at.

0:19:530:19:55

He's trying to dazzle the wall into collapsing.

0:19:550:19:57

DRAGON taking the flame route, classic Draggerz,

0:19:590:20:02

although I'm not sure the bricks are flammable, mate!

0:20:020:20:05

And here's my favourite to take this, it's the GUARD,

0:20:050:20:07

with his bumper technique, he succeeds in removing some bricks.

0:20:070:20:10

But they've taken off his bumper!

0:20:100:20:12

That could prove to be a problem.

0:20:130:20:15

Meanwhile, DRAGON proves that his breath is hot enough to make bricks

0:20:170:20:21

catch alight. Look at that inferno!

0:20:210:20:23

But if he thinks I'm cleaning up after this,

0:20:230:20:25

he's got another thing coming.

0:20:250:20:27

WASP is continuing to try and sparkle the wall over.

0:20:280:20:32

He is letting himself right down here.

0:20:320:20:34

Someone needs to give him a team talk.

0:20:340:20:36

But GUARD, without his guard, only needs two more bricks now,

0:20:380:20:41

not easy with these low ones, as the table becomes an obstacle in itself.

0:20:410:20:45

But he topples another one.

0:20:450:20:46

Oh, WASP, WASP! What are you doing, WASP?

0:20:470:20:50

How in the name did that happen?

0:20:510:20:53

Is that an illusion? WASP has proved me wrong and taking down his wall

0:20:530:20:57

with the power of his sparks.

0:20:570:20:59

While the GUARD just finishes up using a more traditional technique.

0:20:590:21:02

Well, if that can happen, perhaps DRAGON can actually melt bricks,

0:21:030:21:07

albeit very slowly.

0:21:070:21:08

This could take forever.

0:21:080:21:10

I've got a hot date with a microwave meal for one to get back for!

0:21:100:21:14

What's happening here? The greedy GUARD is hungry for more.

0:21:140:21:17

Move aside, DRAGON. Like a motorised wrecking ball,

0:21:170:21:20

he approaches the wall.

0:21:200:21:21

I... Oh, I don't believe it!

0:21:210:21:23

He's blown it! This looks nasty indeed.

0:21:230:21:26

You can see from the onboard cam,

0:21:270:21:29

he toppled a brick and it fell onto his propellers,

0:21:290:21:31

throwing him to the floor

0:21:310:21:32

like a slam dunk basketball.

0:21:320:21:35

This is horrible to watch.

0:21:350:21:36

Poor GUARD has gone from success to failure in a matter of seconds.

0:21:360:21:40

And I wouldn't be surprised if this puts him off busting walls for life.

0:21:400:21:45

Three propeller drones.

0:21:450:21:47

Well, GUARD can rest up in the A&E workshop,

0:21:470:21:50

safe in the knowledge that he took down all 15 of his bricks.

0:21:500:21:53

And eight of DRAGON's, to win this.

0:21:530:21:55

WASP take second place with his sparkling performance and DRAGON

0:21:550:21:59

brings up the rear.

0:21:590:22:00

Like our aviators earlier,

0:22:000:22:02

we are now racing towards the finish line.

0:22:020:22:04

Before we cross it, though, there is

0:22:040:22:06

the small matter of our champion of champions tournament to settle.

0:22:060:22:09

And some more action from the second season.

0:22:090:22:11

Yes, we've enjoyed some high-flying action, Airena-shaking crashes

0:22:110:22:16

and amazing piloting skills across the second series.

0:22:160:22:18

So, for our final airward,

0:22:180:22:20

we really should celebrate some of the finest action and greatest

0:22:200:22:24

examples of control imaginable.

0:22:240:22:26

They all involve highlights of our aviators flying,

0:22:260:22:29

so we call them our greatest fly-lights.

0:22:290:22:32

And our nominees are...

0:22:320:22:34

Grenville's Guardians are nominated for this exquisite loop the loop

0:22:340:22:37

on the Letterboxes.

0:22:370:22:39

Unintentional but Benji regained control and finished the course.

0:22:390:22:42

Class act!

0:22:420:22:43

Nice one, well done!

0:22:430:22:45

This Way Up demoed Grade A skill levels in the semifinal dogfight.

0:22:450:22:49

Admire this super evasive spin before striking their foe!

0:22:490:22:53

A well-deserved place on the shortlist goes to Rotortrismus.

0:22:550:22:58

Leo took his eyes off the drone whilst nattering

0:22:580:23:00

with wing uncle Scott.

0:23:000:23:01

He didn't crash, though.

0:23:010:23:02

-Cruise control.

-You have to go down and in.

0:23:020:23:05

The fourth nom is in recognition of the often underappreciated wing man.

0:23:050:23:09

Check out Vortex's double zap in their semifinal dogfight.

0:23:090:23:12

Paf! Paf!

0:23:120:23:14

Finally, observe how relaxed Fly By Knights's

0:23:140:23:17

Toby was on the Airsault Course.

0:23:170:23:18

Good, lovely, drop it down.

0:23:180:23:20

The key to a smooth flight is a calm pilot, whistling while he works.

0:23:200:23:24

That is one cool dude.

0:23:240:23:25

And the winners are...

0:23:260:23:27

..Grenville's Guardians!

0:23:280:23:30

Yeah, it had to be!

0:23:300:23:32

I mean he couldn't do that again for all the tea in China!

0:23:320:23:34

Cos he doesn't like tea, apparently.

0:23:340:23:35

That was nigh on impossible.

0:23:350:23:37

But Benji did it.

0:23:370:23:38

What a winner!

0:23:380:23:40

Congratulations to Grenville's Guardians.

0:23:410:23:43

And now, we come to the conclusion of this special airdition

0:23:430:23:46

of the show.

0:23:460:23:48

The final dogfight of our champion of champions tournament.

0:23:480:23:51

So, both teams have a lot to prove here in this,

0:23:550:23:58

the ultimate title fight in Airmageddon.

0:23:580:24:01

Especially as both of them were runners-up in their own series.

0:24:010:24:05

Suffolk Air Squad, Guy,

0:24:050:24:07

this is your chance to get an Airmageddon title, finally.

0:24:070:24:10

How much would that mean to you?

0:24:100:24:12

Erm, just a lot.

0:24:120:24:13

This Way Up, how are you going to go about trying to win

0:24:130:24:16

this ultimate dogfight?

0:24:160:24:18

Erm, just use our tactics that we've always used.

0:24:180:24:20

If we win this, it will definitely mean an awful lot to us.

0:24:200:24:23

Aviators, stand by.

0:24:230:24:24

Drone-based aviation contests don't come any bigger than this.

0:24:250:24:29

I think it's safe to say that both Tom and Guy have been dreaming of

0:24:290:24:32

this moment since they were in their nappies.

0:24:320:24:34

Aviators, start your rotors.

0:24:350:24:37

Only one can take home the title champion of champions.

0:24:370:24:42

I'm so nervous I can't watch!

0:24:420:24:45

Engines launch in three, two, one...

0:24:450:24:48

OK, I'll watch!

0:24:480:24:50

But only because I'm getting paid an awful lot of money to do this job.

0:24:500:24:53

PHONE RINGS Oh, hello?

0:24:530:24:55

Mr Agent?

0:24:550:24:57

I don't get paid anything?!

0:24:570:24:58

AGENT HANGS UP

0:24:580:25:00

Disappointing. I was hoping for nine figures.

0:25:000:25:03

This is it! The ultimate dogfight!

0:25:030:25:06

It's as congested as my nose on a wintry morning out there.

0:25:060:25:10

Both teams are active.

0:25:100:25:11

Zapping can begin.

0:25:110:25:12

But This Way Up and SAS are trying to get in a safe position first.

SAS don't want to be under fire from Tom but they are.

0:25:170:25:20

-Two misses, though.

-Remember you're clicking.

-Yeah.

0:25:200:25:23

And SAS return fire in accurate fashion.

0:25:230:25:26

The best of the fashions!

0:25:260:25:27

-You are one up.

-I know you're one up, Ricardo!

0:25:270:25:30

And this replay confirms it.

0:25:300:25:31

SAS one, This Way Up zilcho.

0:25:310:25:34

The usually cool Tom is showing a few signs of stress here.

0:25:360:25:39

Toby, tickle him. Or something.

0:25:390:25:40

That'll help. I jest, of course.

0:25:400:25:42

Get zapping!

0:25:420:25:43

He threw a fireball at me!

0:25:450:25:46

Sorry, I thought that was the air con button.

0:25:460:25:48

-Jackpot!

-This Way Up have now lost two lives!

0:25:500:25:54

Tom needs to do something soon if he wants to stay in with a chance here.

0:25:540:25:57

-Thanks for listening, Tom!

-Oh, we've got one back, don't worry.

0:25:580:26:01

This Way Up have pulled one back with this little stunner.

0:26:010:26:04

This Way Up are just going up and down.

0:26:050:26:07

-And up and down!

-Yeah!

0:26:070:26:09

This Way Up and down!

0:26:090:26:10

It's their trademark move.

0:26:100:26:12

And perhaps it can bring them victory again today.

0:26:120:26:15

Boo-yah!

0:26:160:26:18

Tom's yo-yo ain't just about defence.

0:26:180:26:20

It's also a great attacking technique.

0:26:200:26:22

Both teams have lost two lives.

0:26:220:26:23

The resident drones aren't needed right now.

0:26:230:26:25

This Way Up and SAS are going right at it!

0:26:250:26:28

-It's all right.

-It's more than all right, young Guy.

0:26:280:26:31

You have struck This Way Up right where it hurts.

0:26:310:26:33

And you have match point, mate.

0:26:330:26:34

Wing dad Richard is the most intense man alive right now.

0:26:360:26:39

He's going for it.

0:26:390:26:40

Wow, two very close misses there for This Way Up.

0:26:420:26:45

But no! SAS have finished things off.

0:26:450:26:48

Suffolk Air Squad, I salute you!

0:26:480:26:51

This Way Up gave a brave account of themselves today but couldn't quite

0:26:560:27:00

get their shots on target.

0:27:000:27:01

And it's no surprise, therefore,

0:27:010:27:02

that SAS are now kings of the world and the known universe.

0:27:020:27:07

That means you have been crowned our champions of champions.

0:27:070:27:11

Guy!

0:27:110:27:12

Speechless over here!

0:27:130:27:14

He's seriously happy.

0:27:140:27:16

Well, guys, congratulations to This Way Up,

0:27:160:27:18

you were excellent competitors.

0:27:180:27:20

Have you enjoyed your time here?

0:27:200:27:21

Yes, it's been amazing.

0:27:210:27:23

It's a shame we couldn't win it but, you know...

0:27:230:27:25

Unfortunately, that is all we've got time for us here on Airmageddon.

0:27:250:27:28

As Arnie might say, "We'll be back,"

0:27:280:27:31

with more high-altitude games and low-flying crashes very soon.

0:27:310:27:35

Until then, it's time for us to power down.

0:27:350:27:38

While our champion of champions step up!

0:27:380:27:40

-EXPLOSIONS

-On the wire!

0:27:440:27:46

Argh!

0:27:510:27:53

Nice one, well done!

0:27:550:27:57

-Yeah!

-Argh!

0:28:010:28:03

-Woo!

-Yes!
