OTT Aerobatics was originally formed to provide quality aerobatic flying displays which are fun, safe and entertaining. Building on OTT's successful and inaugural year 2000 display season, flying the powerful and nostalgic Russian Yak 50, OTT have continually expanded their flying operation year on year. OTT now operate the very agile and modern 'unlimited' Extra 300L. The Extra's excellent vertical capability and rolling performance will allow the 2003 show to include multiple vertical manoeuvres and of course include the Extra's specialty, gyroscopic 'tumbles'!!
