Patriots Jet Team "Inspiring the Future of Aviation" through STEM, which is academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Dedication, Precision and Dynamic are words that come to mind when watching the spectacular aerobatics performed by this awe-inspiring six-ship PATRIOTS JET TEAM. As one of the most demanding disciplines, and fascinating sights, aerobatic flying is a concentrated blend of technique, mastery and style which requires professional and highly experienced pilots. The Patriots perform a 26-minute aerobatic routine that consists of highly-skilled choreographed maneuvers including the signature maneuver the “Tail Slide”! First debuting in 2003 as a two-ship team, the 2004 season saw the addition of a third aircraft creating even more fun and excitement at air shows. With the success of the 2005 season, the Patriots Jet Team added a fourth jet for the 2006 season. Finally, in 2011 with the introduction of two more beautiful black L-39s, Randy Howell’s vision of a world-class, professional six-ship team for the air show circuit became a reality! The Patriots Jet Team features talented pilots who were
formerly part of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Navy Blue Angels and Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds. They have logged over 105,000 hours of flight time and performed in more than 1500 air shows. The volunteer pilots all share the same, genuine passion to entertain audiences at air shows and other events, while encouraging the nation’s youth towards careers in the aviation and aerospace fields. A breathtaking sight without a doubt! The Patriots Jet Team, unique in its kind represents an all-encompassing blend of passion, inspiration, integrity and professionalism captivating audiences from all over North America with their exhilarating aerobatic performances!
