THE HOPPERS I

I have been lucky enough to go on a few flights with a team of L-39 Albatross jet trainers. They call themselves The Hoppers .

At the time, the Hoppers consisted of four aircraft piloted by Dan Sullivan, Dave Mills, Paul Wood, and Tim Brutsche. In this video I was riding backseat in Tim Brutsche's aircraft. Unfortunately only three of the four jets were available.

This footage was shot in November of 2003. The soundtrack is called Happiness, from the band Collective Soul.
