From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grupa Akrobacyjna Skorpion ("Scorpion" Aerobatic team) is an aerobatic demonstration team of the Polish Air Forces, flying 4 Mil Mi-24 Helicopters, and one of very few helicopter aerobatic teams in the world. Originally formed in 1999 in 49th combat helicopters regiment in Pruszcz Gdański, the team made it's debut in 1999 air picnic in Pruszcz Gdański, and later performed in 1999 Radom Air Show. It is worth saying, that Mi-24 is not an aerobatic helicopter, but heavy anti-tank helicopter, and excellent skill is required to perform team aerobatic manouvers on it, as the Scorpions do.
