Inverted flight is a common part of aerobatic routines, but to do it in such a confined space is a rare and very difficult feat.

Updated:

The Czech Flying Bulls aerobatic team made history by performing the world’s first inverted tuck under Montenegro's 500-metre-high Mala Rijeka viaduct, Europe’s tallest railway bridge.

The demanding canyon environment and intense negative G-forces tested the Czech aerobatic team’s precision as they completed the loop on in a tight diamond formation on 8 October.

The feat, highlighting their exceptional skill, pushed the boundaries of inverted flight within a highly confined space, making it an extraordinary achievement in aviation.

The Czech Flying Bulls Aerobatics Team, sponsored by Red Bull, performs with four XtremeAir Sbach 342 aircraft, led by Stanislav Čejka, and includes Czech Air Force pilots, a manager, and an engineer, following a previous formation of Zlín Z-50 planes that dissolved after leadership changes.
