The Russian Knights Aviation Promotion Foundation was established on
31 January 1997. Its primary objective is to popularise and support
the Russian Knights aerobatics team. In addition, the Foundation renders
assistance to other units of the Russian Air Force.
To popularise the Russian Knights aerobatics team, the Foundation has
released a video and booklets, with numerous souvenirs being in production
too (calendars, trinkets, pins, badges, wristwatches, aircraft models,
T-shirts, baseball caps, etc.). In addition, the Foundation renders
direct support to pilots and their dependants. It runs the social, technical
and presentation support programme aimed at the Russian Knights aerobatics
team. The Foundation supports the demonstration tours of the Russian
Knights aerobatics team both in Russia and abroad.
