The Hoppers L-39 Jet Warbird Team
Battle Creek's own, Tim Brutsche and The Hoppers will power the sky in their ever popular L-39 Albatross Jets once again this year after becoming regulars at the Field of Flight. The L-39 is a Soviet Bloc Trainer that has become popular as a jet warbird in the United States. The Hoppers will fly their L-39s in a series of formation maneuvers at this years airshow.
The Hoppers key to their mission is interacting with kids at shows. The pilots have been blessed through hard work and a little luck to be in the position where they are now…to fly dream aircraft. They want kids to walk away after talking with them thinking “I could do that too. All I have to do is work hard in school and think BIG!”
Hopper pilots include Steve Kirik, Dave Mills, Glenn Smith, Dan Sullivan and Paul Wood.
