Breitling #1 Jet The Breitling Jet Team will be leaving the midwest tomorrow to continue their American Tour. The good news; they’ll be back next year. After seeing them fly for the first time this summer, they’re clearly in the same league as the best military teams.
Breitling: After the Show After the show, it’s time for R&R. And, let the ground crew take care of the plane.
The Breitling Jet Team is the largest professional, civilian team performing aerobatics in jets. Aerobatics, one of the world’s most demanding disciplines, combines a concentrated blend of technique, mastery and style requiring unparalleled precision, speed, and audacity. The team flies seven L-39C Albatros aircraft, Czech-made twin-seater military training jets. These planes represent a compromise between performance, aesthetics, reliability and operating costs.
The L-39 Albatros was taking off. Catch a moment in time; notice the gear doors are open but the gear hasn’t been retracted.
Wow, the Breitling Jet Team, the largest professional civilian team performing in jets today, were preparing to leave KARR today as we taxied for takeoff. These powerful L-39C Albatros aircraft piloted by flying aces make each appearance of the Breitling Jet Team breathtaking; a meticulously coordinated ballet where the planes sometimes fly within 3 meters of each other at speeds over 400 knots! Unfortunately, we could not hang around to see them takeoff; maybe, another time.
