Breitling Jet Team to Tour U.S.A.

In 2015, the largest professional civilian jet aerobatic team will undertake its first tour of the United States.

The  Breitling Jet Team, consisting of seven L-39C Albatros planes flying at nearly 700 km/h (435 mph), has already performed in 36 countries across the world.

The Breitling Jet Team has just completed a major European tour, traveling to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, England and Poland.

The 2014 program was studded with a number of highlights – such as the first-time participation in the ILA Berlin Air Show (a very rare privilege for a civilian team), a flight with the Italian national Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team (in the framework of the “Fly for Peace” event designed to promote peace and respect for human rights) and another flight in formation with the British Red Arrows aerobatic team, to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

In 2012, the Breitling Jet Team had already covered more than 45,000 kilometers (28,000 miles) during an “Asian Tour” that included stops in Russia, China, South East Asia, South Korea and Japan.

The detailed program for the 2015 American tour will be unveiled at the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS), which will take place in Las Vegas (Nevada) on 9 December 2014.
