In addition to the 13 demonstrators, the SkyHawks have four team members on their ground crew: an imagery technician, a public affairs officer and narrator, an administrative officer and a drop zone controller.
The SkyHawks’ thrilling performance will include daring maneuvers and requires a high level of skill, teamwork, and physical fitness.
