Shell Aviation has extended its partnership with the AeroShell Aerobatic Team for three more years. The company has sponsored the aerobatic display team since 2003. Attendees at Sun ’n‘ Fun 2018 this week in Florida can take their own virtual flight with the team at the AeroShell booth (085, Hangar C). The AeroShell Aerobatic Team, formed in 1985, is the oldest civilian airshow team in North America. 

AeroShell team lead Mark Henley told AIN: “We are thrilled to have AeroShell on board as our copilot for the next three years. As our primary sponsor, AeroShell has helped the team grow and continue to perform at the high level our fans expect.”

This year the team has refreshed its signature paint scheme, making its AT-6 Texans brighter and more visible than ever. The team will participate in the Sun ’n‘ Fun night airshow display on Saturday and day airshow displays on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
