The famous participant from the Czech Republic, The Flying Bulls Aerobatic team, will also be present at SIAF 2022.
Unrepeatable performance in the air, maximum discipline, concentration, trust and teamwork ability. These are the basic prerequisites for the success of the Czech acrobatic group The Flying Bulls Aerobatic Team. During their performances, the pilots on XtremeAir XA42 machines can blend into a whole in the clouds and show visitors air manoeuvres that no other group in the world can do. As they claim, their cooperation is based on a precise detail in a very close group and mirror acrobatics. Don't miss Slovak International Air Fest SIAF 2022 on August 27th and 28th at Malacky Airport Kuchyňa, and experience a unique theatre in the sky.
The group consists of: Stanislav Čejka (leader), Miroslav Krejčí (right wing), Jan Rudzinskyj (left wing), Jan Tvrdík (slot), manager Martin Nepovím and team mechanic Miloš Špreňar.
"When we are in the air, we want people on the ground to be left breathless. So that they don't understand what's going on over their heads. That it gives them shivers, and maybe that they are scared a little... We perform acrobatics as close to each other as the laws of physics allow. We are constantly trying to push the boundaries of aviation, and according to the reactions of air show visitors, we are successful at it," says the acrobatic group The Flying Bulls.
The world-famous group constantly invents new spectacles and more and more often prepares more demanding exhibition sets for air shows at home and in the world. During their shows they fly up to 70 kilometres, during which they perform about 38 acrobatic elements. At the same time, the pilots' bodies have to cope with a huge overload of +7G/-5G.
“In the air, we rely not only on each other, but also on the strength of 315 HP which XA42 aircrafts have. They are specially adapted to the needs of the group and are among the most powerful machines that can be seen in the world of acrobatic flying. They reach speeds of up to 420 kilometres per hour and we ascend high up to 700 metres with them."
From the group history
The Flying Bulls Aerobatic Team is a continuator of the "Chrudim Four", founded in the 1960s by Jiří Tlustý, Božej Struž, Antonín Klimenda and Ladislav Bezák. Except for Jiří Tlustý and Božej Struž since 1960 Laco Trebatický, Daňo Polonec, Jiří Saller, Jiří Vepřek and Radka Máchová also alternated in the group. At first, they flew on the ZLÍN 26 series and finally on the ZLIN 50 type aircrafts, with which they said goodbye at the beginning of 2015 by a show in India. During the time of their activity, they won several world championships. They performed several times in Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Cyprus, Egypt and almost all over Europe.
