The book, The Aerobats: The World's Great Aerial Demonstration Teams, points out that each year tens of millions of people attend airshows throughout the world making aerobatics one of the most popular spectator sports. This book brings the excitment from the skies to the "armchair" by giving the reader a taste of what the world's great precision flying teams are capable of. These modern aerobatic aviators typically spend much more time practicing their craft then they actually do performing it in front of spectators. Seat-of-your-pants improvisation has given way to exact timing and exacting teamwork. As the author points out, organized aerobatic teams are now a major part of most modern air forces.
