Formed in 2005, the Blades were a subsidiary of 2Excel Aviation and described as 'the world's only aerobatic airline'. The team flew 4 Extra 300LPs and one Extra 330SC, the latter being used for solo sections of their performances. As well as aerobatic displays the aircraft were also used for corporate flying events whereby passengers could be carried. 2022 was their final full season.
