List of air display teams
Many air forces, some navies, and even a few private organizations have established air display teams to perform in domestic and international air shows. Some display teams perform aerobatics, while others give displays of formation flying or their operations such as air-sea rescue. The French Patrouille de France, established in 1931, is the earliest flight demonstration team.
