"Congratulations to everyone for a great VFAT 2009 show! I am very impressed by everyone in the team and what we have managed to achieve this year! We have worked so hard for this, 3 trainings a week, a whole 1 hour show routine for everyone to learn, finding out how to do everything by ourselves, I am truly amazed how far we have come and of the skill this team has!" - RED1|Crow (BOSS)

The VRA are making a positive step forward after experiencing some disagreements within the team concerning how we should fly this year's show routine. Unfortunately various issues could not be amicably resolved; we are sad to receive the news that 3 of our pilots will be voluntarily leaving us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their services to the VRA and wish them well with their future endeavours.
The remaining members are confident that the new decisions concerning various maneuvers and show dynamics have been made for the good of team. 2009 pilots are now being recalled and we will be intensely training 1-2 new recruits in preparation for our live performances this year. We know it's been a while since we released media showcasing our latest training efforts, we'll be sure to rectify this as soon as possible and keep you updated as always with the latest team developments and progress.
