Why Jets? Why Breitling?
Fast Jets such as the L-39, as well as the demands of formation flying, not the least, performance aerobatics, command a superior set of skills and disciplines to that of most any other endeavour. Not only in the physical and mental aspect of the display, but with the intricacies and perfection that is required of any aircraft, especially that of a fast jet. It seems fitting, that Breitling, as a purveyor of such requisites & aviation-inspired styling, would want to sponsor a jet team that shares these same values.
