1986 Skyblazers European Tour


In October of 1949, four pilots of the 36th Fighter Wing came together to form the first aerobatic display team in the American zone in Germany. This team and its successors would go on to fly hundreds of demonstrations in front of millions in Europe and Africa, before being disbanded in 1963.

That team was, .... the Skyblazers.

This year, Nine Teen Eighty Six, the Skyblazers have finally come home.This reunion, flown in the most advanced fighter aircraft of our time, the McDonnel Douglas F-15C Eagle, brings the Skyblazers out of retirement and back to the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing in Bitburg West Germany.

ladies and gentlemen, ........the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing and Bitburg Airbase are proud to present to you, your.... United States Air Forces... Europe........... SKYBLAZERS......

this mod represents the F-15C in a fictional scheme as the reconstituted USAFE Skyblazers demo team.

 the skin should work equally well in either. then....
