The history of the IIAF Golden Crown begins in 1955 with the delivery of the F-84G Thunder Jet, the first jet fighter of the Imperial Iranian Air Force. Before delivering the first jets, the IIAF sent 15 pilots (including Gen. Mohammad Khatami, who later became the commander of the Air Force) to Fursten Feldbrook USAF Base in Germany to attend the Jet Pilot Training School. Ten pilots (including Gen. Khatami) returned to Iran after completing the training program. At the same time, 5 of them (Capt. Nader Jahanbani, Siamak Jahanbini, and 1st Lt. Iraj Mokhaberi, Amirhossain Rabii, and Abdolhossain Minousepehr) continued their training by going to Jet Pilot Instructor Course. Luckily, Fursten Feldbrook AFB was the home of the "Sky Blazers" USAF Acro team at the time, and Capt was carefully watching their day-to-day practices. Nader Jahanbani. He wished that someday, the IIAF would also have such a team. This wish was the source of a close friendship between Capt. Jahanbani and the "Sky Blazers" members, especially team leader Maj. Smallen. This friendship enabled Capt. Nader Jahanbani will participate in some Sky Blazers team practices by flying in Maj's backseat. Smallen. After completing the Jet Instructor Pilot Course and returning to Iran, Nader Jahanbani (now Maj.) formed Iran's first AcroJet team by practicing with Gen. Khatami (now Air Force Commander), Capt. Jahanbini, Capt. Rabii, and 1st Lt. Minousepehr.
Finally, after 72 practice sessions, in June 1958, the dream of Maj. Nader Jahanbani turned to reality, and the beautiful blue Iranian sky witnessed a new flock of high-flying birds called the Imperial Iranian Air Force Golden Crown AcroJet Team (Team Acro Jete Taje Talaee Niroueh Havaee Shahanshahi Iran ). Because Maj. Nader Jahanbani turned his vision and dream into reality; he became the Father of the IIAF Golden Crown.
