Prior to the founding of the team, the Royal Malaysian Air Force had another aerobatic team, "Smokey Bandits" that performed aerobatic performances during air shows such as LIMA with the RMAF's Mikoyan MiG-29 air superiority fighters.[2]

During its debut on LIMA 2011, they operated four German Extra 300L aerobatic monoplane aircraft.
