Screaming & Streaming Nine pilots (eight performers and one reserve) and 35 engineers form the team, which typically performs 40 times a year, mostly in Europe but they have flown in the Middle Easy and Asia as well.
Heading Home The team flashes past as their routine draws to a close. Once back at their homer base in Salon de Provence, France, they will practice and prepare for their next performance.
