Many air forces from around the world, along with some navy and army aviators, and even a few private organisations, have established air display teams to perform at domestic and international air shows, major sporting occasions, and even corporate events. Some display teams perform aerobatics, while others give displays of formation flying or their professional operations such as air-sea rescue.
