Breitling Jet Team in HD at the Abbotsford Airshow Twilight Show

I was lucky enough to see the Breitling Jet Team for the first time a couple of weeks ago at the 2015 Abbotsford International Airshow or as we call it around here in Lynden, WA, the Abbotsford Airshow. That is the sole reason I became aware of the jets I became fans of throughout my life. Those include the Blue Angels, The Thunderbirds.

Speaking of other performers, the line-up this year was refreshingly different! In addition to the old favorites like the Canadian Snowbirds. The coolest jet they have had in a LONG time and probably ever was the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter jet demo.

Back to the subject matter of this video recorded in HD! In cause you were wondering, the jets you see flying around are the L-39 Albatros. The Breitling Jet Team is made up of seven of the L-39C Albatros aircraft, Czech-made twin-seater military training jets that can also be used for passenger flights. These magnificent planes represent an excellent compromise between performance, aesthetics, reliability and operating costs. They were widely used in all former Soviet bloc countries. The Breitling Jet Team planes were acquired in exceptional technical condition. To accentuate their powerful, taut and dynamic appearance, Breitling has equipped them with a black, anthracite gray and metal gray livery perfectly reflecting their spectacular feats – while also improving the visibility of the breathtaking feats they perform. A bold, high-impact design in which each pilot’s number appears in an extremely original way, tightly framed and cropped to follow the shape of the wings and ailerons. Another spectacular detail lies in the dark shade of their fuselage, which creates a vivid contrast with the metal gray of the underside of the wings and sometimes makes the jets look almost like missiles when viewed from the ground.
