Flights in Fukushima and a performance in Onahama to bring cheer to disaster victims



For nearly a century, Breitling has been synonymous with aviation, continuously challenging the future. In 2003, the company formed the "Breitling Jet Team," the largest civilian aerobatic jet team, to further advance the aviation industry.

Since then, the Breitling Jet Team has delivered dreams and excitement from the skies through over 400 performances in 26 countries. Now, they make their debut in Japan. A display by seven L-39C Albatros jets will unfold in the Japanese skies.
