The Thunderbirds are the Air Demonstration Squadron of the U.S. Air Force, based at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada. The squadron tours the U.S. and much of the world, performing aerobatic formation and solo flying in specially-marked USAF jet aircraft. Officers serve a two-year assignment with the squadron, while enlisted personnel serve three to four. Replacements must be trained for about half of the team each year, providing a constant mix of experience. The squadron performs no more than 88 air demonstrations each year and has never canceled a demonstration due to maintenance difficulty. In addition to their air demonstration responsibilities, the Thunderbirds are part of the USAF combat force and a component of the 57th Wing. If required, the team's personnel and aircraft can be rapidly integrated into a fighter unit at Nellis AFB. Lockheed Martin F-16C/D Fighting Falcon 1992-2008 The block 32H/J aircraft currently assigned to the Thunderbirds were built in 1986 & 1987 and are some of the oldest operational F-16s in the Air Force.

The team flies six Northrop F-5E Tiger II fighter/bomber jets. The Patrouille Suisse was founded on 8 August 1964 as a part of the Swiss Air Force. The Patrouille Suisse started with four British Hawker Hunter Mk.58s, beginning training for the EXPO 1964 exhibition in Lausanne and for the 1964 celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Airforce. 1965 was the first year in which they had a scheduled season. In 1991, the team changed the paint scheme to incorporate the Swiss flag colors (red and white) and the logo for the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation. In 1994 the Patrouille Suisse flew the Hawker Hunter Mk.58s for the last time before transferring to the faster and more maneuverable Northrop F-5E Tiger II.

]]> Wed Sep 20 2006 TEAM BREITLING http://lindasdisplayteams.fotopic.net/c891732.html THE BREIGHTLING JET TEAM This is the world's first professional civilian jet aerobatics team. Piloted by top-notch professionals, the flight team sometimes fly within 3 metres of each other at speeds of over 650mph. The team is made up of six L-39C Albatros aircraft, Czech-made twin-seater military training jets. Based at Dijon they perform about 50 demonstrations in Europe each season, at air shows, Formula 1 Grand Prix races, sports events, etc. The 2008 season saw the aircraft in a new scheme with yellow tails. Unfortunately the weather did not provide us with blue skies at the Biggin Hill Air Fair. They also flew in 7 ship formations. Click on photo to see a bigger image.
