HOUSTON -- Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel and outfielder Jake Marisnick were riding high on Friday afternoon when they spent 45 minutes in the air racing at breakneck speeds with the Breitling Jet Team as it prepared for its performance this weekend in the Wings Over Houston airshow.
The jet team, supported by Swiss watch brand Breitling, is based in Dijon, France. This year marks its first time performing in the U.S. Made up of seven L-39 C Albatros jets that can reach speeds of up to 565 mph, the Breitling Jet Team is the world's largest professional civilian flight team performing in jets.
