Exciting flight display by the russian Strizhi (Стрижи - Russian Swifts) aerobatic team at MAKS 2017 on day july 22nd. It was a cloudy flight display and we had a good occasion to see vortex trails form on the wingtips :) Music by 12x RD-33 turbofan engines. The plane landing at the beginning of the video is a light trainer-experimental aircraft called SR-10 (СР-10), will post more videos about it in the future.

The official "birth" of the aerobatic team was on May 6, 1991, when they first performed an aerial display under their current name on the MiG-29 fighters in their original white and blue coloring. After that, Aviation Marshal Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub personally presented the medals to the pilots of the group "For Strengthening the Military Commonwealth Between the States." In October 1991, "Strizhi" performed abroad for the first time; a group of fighters from Kubinka paid a visit to the Uppsala airbase in Sweden. The first public foreign premiere of "Strizhi" was held in May 1992 in France though, at an air festival dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Normandy-Niemen squadron. The group impressed the Western audience with their skill. The aircraft formations were constantly changing - shifting from an arrow to a cross, pyramid, wing, star, etc. The performance ended with a spectacular formation break which was accompanied by a hail of flares. In 1993, the Strizhi team also became participants in the LIMA'93 air show on Langkawi Island in Malaysia, as well as in air festivals in Belgium and Thailand, and at the exhibition in Thailand the group's aviation specialists set a speed record of aircraft assembly: 4 MiG-29s arrived there dissassembled inside an An-124 Ruslan transport plane and the Russian technicians and mechanics managed to get them into operational status in just 3 days. This same year, the team was awarded the title "Best aerobatic team of the world". Since 1991 the group "Swifts" has annually conducted 50 shows. The pilots have visited more than 28 foreign countries.
