BREITLING JET TEAM

Based in Dijon, each season the Breitling Jet Team performs around fifty demonstrations throughout Europe, at air shows, Formula 1 Grand Prix races, and sports events. Dazzling shows where speed, precision and daring vie with the beauty of their formations.
The air show presented by the Breitling Jet Team generally lasts seventeen minutes. The acrobatic formations of the five L-39 planes are underscored by a (biodegradable) smoke-trail system; they are also enhanced by a musical accompaniment that further heightens the intensity of the performance. During the demonstration, the planes perform while flying in formations 2.5 m from each other - with formation breaks, and crossovers.
The L-39 aircraft is a low-wing, tandem seating, all metal turbofan powered aircraft designed for basic and advanced training, including weapon delivery practicing, as well as for light attack tasks.
The practical suitability of L-39 aircraft for training tasks is demonstrated daily in military service of more than 30 Air Forces in Europe, Asia, Africa. The entire L-39 fleet, covering more than 2,800 delivered L-39 aircraft worldwide, has accumulated over 4,000,000 flying hours.
