Very cool indeed.

If I remember correctly those are large scale RC models.

Those guys are amazing RC pilots to pull all that off including synchronizing the routine between two planes.

How do the real ones keep the engines running during some of those? Can't be much air coming through the intakes?
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

That was a problem in the earlier days of jet fighters, and in severe maneuvers, the engines would have compressor stalls.  More-modern fighters and engines are designed to reduce or eliminate that.
