In 1991 their planes were modernized according to aerobatic requirements and repainted white and red to let the group be recognized as a national aerobatic team.
Last year “Biało-Czerwone Iskry” prepared a spectacular team aerobatic show with one particular element: white and red trails of fume to emphasize patriotic character of the group.

 Aerobatics
Formation aerobatics are usually flown by teams of up to sixteen aircraft, although economic considerations mean that most teams habitually fly between four and ten aircraft.
Usually each team will use aircraft similar to one another finished in a special and dramatic colour scheme, thus emphasising their entertainment function.
Jet aerobatic teams often fly in formations which further restricts the maneuvers that can be safely flown.
