Country United Arab Emirates
Unit Khalifa Bin Zayed Air College
Base Al Ain
Aircraft 7 x MB.339NAT

Al Fursan are the national aerobatic team of the United Arab Emirates. They were formed in 2010 under the guidance of Italy's Frecce Tricolori as both teams fly the MB-339, but since then, a former member of the Patrouille de France has mentored the team. Their jets are painted in an attractive black and gold colour scheme symbolising the colour of the UAE's desert and the lucrative oil fields that lie below. Each plane can produce coloured smoke (red, green and black) to represent the UAE's flag. As well as appearing at major regional events such as the Al Ain Airshow and Dubai Airshow, Al Fursan have also made two tours to Europe in 2014 and 2012, to China in 2014 and to Malaysia in 2015.
