The Patriots Jet Team began with the vision of one person, Randy Howell. Fueled by a passion for aviation since childhood, it became Howell’s mission to create a six-jet precision demonstration team that could entertain, inspire, and educate. This mission hit the ground running in 1999. – Patriots Jet Team
