KUALA LUMPUR: The excitement of a hopeful crowd quickly fizzled out after the Red Arrows, the world's most-celebrated military air show team, had to cancel their performance at the Petronas Twin Towers KLCC public park here Friday.

The Red Arrows, the British Royal Air Force's (RAF) famed aerobatic team, are known for their astonishing displays of precision aerobatics and were slated to perform two fly-pasts over KLCC at 3.45pm.
