Flying Bulls Aerobatics Team

Aircraft

Airplanes from the XtremeAir series belong to the LEGENDS of world aerobatic flying. The first prototype of the two-seat XtremeAir Sbach 342 (XA42) first flew alongside the single-seat XA41 in 2004 and was in production until early 2021, during which time more than 60 units were produced. It is a German-built monoplane of composite construction primarily designed for aerobatics. The design and performance of the Lycoming engine allows them to perform incredible maneuvers that other aircraft, such as the Zlin Z-50, could not.

About group

The group of four pilots was founded as a successor of the famous Chrudim trio, later the quartet, which started in 1960. It was invited by the organisers of the air shows to all Europe, unfortunately at the expense of the disfavour of the former ruling communist party. This led to the closure of the activities in 1982 and the group had to wait until 1990 to be able to fly again. They have been flying under the name of their sponsor, Flying Bulls Aerobatics Team, since 2000. Today, this amazing group of pilots performs at dozens of events each year, from air shows, to F1 races, to music festivals. Performing in destinations such as China, Japan, India, Qatar and Jordan is no exception. Flying Bulls Aerobatics Team even performs a group figure four soaring twist, which is the only thing they do in the world and has never been done by anyone else. They are also the only ones flying head over heels and the third aircraft flies straight circuits around them. They are true legends!

In the group you will see four XtremeAir Sbach 342 (XA42) aircraft.

Pilots: Stanislav Čejka (OK-FBA), Jan Tvrdík (OK-FBB), Jan Rudzinskyj (OK-FBC), Martin Špaček (OK-FBD)
