September 10, 2009 -After Hradec Kralové in the Czech Republic, the team started on a little British tour. First to come was Jersey, together with Guernsey. Leuchars was to follow a couple of days later. British airshows are always something special. Lot of (beautiful) folks around. Lots of animation. Some nerves about the weather and then you have it. All ingredients for a typical British airshow.

September 7, 2009 - On the last day of the 2009 edition of the Czech International Air Fest (CIAF), Mitch received the 'Best Flying Display CIAF 2009' trophy. Mitch was very honoured to receive this trophy. The entire team celebrated this event, since such an achievement and an according trophy aren't won every week.

Congratulations to Mitch and the entire team for their efforts to perform at a high level on each occasion.

September 5-6, 2009 -After the tragic event in Radom, Poland, the team picked up its pace at Hradec Kralové in the Czech Republic. Both days had very different weather with Saturday being quite windy. Mitch performed well. On Sunday the weather improved so the public could enjoy a flawless show once more.

August 29-30, 2009 - The airshow on the Polish Air Force base of Radom started with low clouds and a lot of rain. It prevented Mitch from flying his display on Saturday because weather conditions were just too appalling for him to fly a safe display. Weather conditions improved considerably on Sunday and everything was set to fly the display as tragedy struck. The Belorussian Su-27UB crashed during its display, unfortunately killing both pilots on board. As a consequence the entire airshow was canceled and no more displays were flown, including the one from Mitch.

The team likes to extend its most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of both pilots.
