PC-7 Team
This book offers a clear insight into the PC-7 Team, whose flight displays are often described as an "aerial ballet". The formation pilots impress with rapid, accurate manoeuvres, flying their aircraft only a few metres apart.
The nine professional military pilots of the Swiss Air Force fly the F/A-18 Hornet in daily service. With their red-and-white Pilatus NCPC-7 training aircraft, they represent the Air Force at home and abroad. Such precision is only possible through complete mutual trust, making teamwork essential.
Photographer Urs Mattle accompanied the PC-7 Team throughout the 2012 season on the ground and in the air, becoming an integrated member of the team. Additional images by renowned aviation photographer Katsuhiko Tokunaga complement the documentation.
"PC-7 Team - Backstage" provides a rare look behind the scenes of this highly professional aerobatic unit - from briefing to the friendly gathering after a successful display.
