BAFDAYS 2026 is proud to welcome the Wings of Storm Krila Oluje in Croatian—for a full weekend of demonstrations. They are the official aerobatic display team of the Croatian Air Force.

An iconic team with a unique role

Created to showcase the skill, discipline, and teamwork of the Croatian Air Force, the team flies six Pilatus PC-9M aircraft—high performance, agile, and perfectly suited for aerobatics.

A remarkable fact: their pilots are also instructors for the next generation of Croatian aviators. Unlike many European aerobatic teams, they do not have aircraft dedicated solely to demonstrations. Their expertise relies on a unique balance between training missions and high-level aerobatic practice.

A display known for its technical sophistication

The Wings of Storm are renowned for their highly technical and demanding display, including figures rarely seen in tight formation:

• formation tailslides
• spins

These challenging manoeuvres highlight their precision, coordination, and aerial mastery.

A name with historical significance

The name Krila Oluje (“Wings of the Storm”) pays tribute to Operation Oluja (“Storm”), conducted during Croatia’s war of independence in the 1990s. It symbolizes national strength, resilience, and unity.

Modernisation underway

Croatia has recently acquired Pilatus PC 7 MkX aircraft, modern trainers for future pilots, complementing the PC 9M currently used by the team.

The Wings of Storm promise a precise, powerful and spectacular performance: a major highlight for BAFDAYS 2026!
