History
The Wings of Storm were founded in 2003 and made their debut performance with four PC-9s in Zadar in 2004. The team grew to five aircraft by the end of 2005, and six in 2009. In March 2015, all six pilots abruptly left the team and moved to Qatar, where they established the Qatar Display Team, a six-ship team flying the PC-21. The team was quickly reformed and appeared as a five-ship team in 2015, returning to full-strength the following year. A smoke system was added for the first time in 2020.
