Our Goal
Formed in 2022, the goal of the Virtual Patriots Jet Team is to inspire youth into the art of aviation. Through tight formations and breathtaking maneuvers, we take great pride in what we do while displaying the endless potential of aerobatic flying. Following our real-life counterparts, we aim to emulate the infamous 6-ship Patriots Jet Team demonstration seen at airshows across the West Coast. If you are interested in volunteering for the Patriots, please send an email.

The entire L-39 fleet, consisting of more than 2,800 aircraft delivered worldwide, has accumulated over 4,000,000 flying hours. It is still used mainly as a trainer aircraft for various other countries around the world.
