Patriots Jet Team 2015 Marketing Proposal PATRIOTS JET TEAM

Who is the Patriots Jet Team…..This amazing story of the only civilian owned aerobatic jet team in the United States, began with the vision of one man, owner Randy Howell. His passion for aviation is undeniable! It became his mission to create a six ship precision jet demonstration team to entertain millions while inspiring and educating our nation’s youth about aviation.

This mission took flight in 1999 with the purchase of two L-39 Albatross Jet aircraft, followed by the purchase of additional jets through 2009. All the aircrafts were disassembled in Europe, shipped via truck, rail and sea in containers to the United States. After painstaking restoration by dedicated team members, the Patriots Jet Team’s L-39 jets were modified for use on the air show circuit. These modifications consisted of upgraded avionic systems for navigation and communications, removal of excess weight for better air show performance, the addition of a 30 gallon smoke oil system and the application of the current Patriots Jet Team colors.

The successful debut in 2003 of the two-ship team, inspired the owner over the next few years to purchase five more beautiful, black L-39’s. In 2011, Randy Howell’s vision of a world-class, professional six-ship team for the air show circuit became a reality.

Passion, Precision and Dynamic are words that come to mind when watching the spectacular formation aerobatic flying 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 Jet Team features talented pilots who were formerly part of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Navy and . They have logged over 105,000 hours of flight time and performed in more than 1,500 air shows. The group was brought together in 2002 by Randy and is based in Byron, CA. The civilian 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.

In the summer of 2012, the Patriots Jet Team moved into their new 35,000 Sq. Ft. Jet and Event Center. This facility enables the team to house all performance jets as well as two MiG-17’s under one roof and still have room for support aircraft and support equipment. Equally important is that our skilled technicians can now perform maintenance at the same location. The hangar has become a favorite place for many aviation enthusiasts of all ages. The comfortable, friendly and casual environment can accommodate anything from intimate meetings to large scale events. The state of the art facility is also home to the Patriots Jet Team Foundation. Youngsters come from all over to attend science and aviation classes. What better forum for aviation classes than a world class hangar.

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 the world with the new Discovery TV show..
