Don't Miss the Breitling Jet Team at the Air Show

Everybody knows the Navy's Blue Angels. Now, it's time to meet the Breitling Jet Team.

This year’s Rhode Island National Guard Open House Air Show will include several firsts, notably the first appearance at the show by the elite Breitling Jet Team.

It’s the world’s largest professional civilian flight team made up of a group of elite pilots and seven L-39 C Albatros jets that can fly up to 565 mph.

The team, supported by Swiss watch brand Breitling, is based in Dijon, France, and this year marks their first time ever performing in the United States on their inaugural American Tour.
