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.

August 22-23, 2009 - The second leg of the show season was kicked off at Rygge in Norway. Both days had magnificent mid-August Norwegian weather which made it even nicer for the team. The team was very surprised by the Norwegian enthusiasm for Mitch's display. This resulted in a more then average sale at the PR tent afterwards.

July 25-26, 2009 - The second stop on the team's English two-fold was the Sunderland Airshow. This two-day event is one of the largest airshows in Europe. With its original setting on the coastline - with aircraft actually performing over the English Channel - this airshow makes a trip worthwhile. On the second day Mitch experienced some electrical problems during his demo which made him return to base immediately. Despite this little hick-up, the weekend was a nice temporary closing before the team hits the second leg of the season in late August starting at Rygge in Norway.
