Team Viper

[Gully]

Anybody know anything much about this Strikemaster display team? 666Beast posted about them on TVOC forum: this is the link to their site http://www.viperdisplayteam.com/

In addition to the 2009 shows listed there, they have been added to Waddo's list of participants.

Cheers,

it's a pretty cheap and nasty website isn't it? some areas still under construction too. i can only assume that they are a brand new team

Mayfly - any of their Strikemasters ones that DT's done airtests on? he's Mr. JP after all - any idea who they are?

edit - airliners.net have only two pictures of G-MXPH (the a/c shown on Team Viper's own website) - seems the a/c itself is based at Northolt, and one picture says this...

G-MXPH / 311 (cn EEP/JP/1931) This privately-owned Strikemaster is one of 16 which were delivered to the R Singapore AF in 1970, serving till 1983. It first arrived back in the UK in 1994 as G-SARK and is seen here resplendent in its original livery featuring the first-generation RSAF roundel which is the same as that used by Turkey and Peru

that's the only Strikemaster i can find reference to based at Northolt

just looked up the pilots -only know Mark Petrie ex harriers I believe. I think they are newly formed but don't know anything about them sorry.

Team Viper... all sounds very 'Top Gun' to me . Can Andys Lightings be re-named Team 'Maverick' ?

Looks as though these guys may be an aircraft short at the start of the season...

Apparently, Team Viper was practising in the area. Thankfully, the pilots are okay and due to their skill nobody on the ground was injured.

According to the Dutch version of UKAR (don't ask - I was looking up how to spell Volkel on the internet and got reading ), the Volkel airshow organisers have had confirmation from Team Viper that they are prepping their spare aircraft for the start of the season and expect to be at full strength!
