RNZAF Black Falcons | Part One - Meet the Team

Meet the 2026 Royal New Zealand Air Force Black Falcons and discover what drives them to push the limits - flying their T-6C Texan II at speeds of more than 450 km/h, flying within just 30 metres of each other! The team is managed by the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Central Flying School at Base Ohakea. Every member is a qualified flying instructor, either from Central Flying School — which trains new instructors and upholds RNZAF flying standards - or from No. 14 Squadron RNZAF, where new pilots earn their wings. Their practices and displays are carried out alongside full-time instructional duties, making their precision, discipline, and teamwork in the air even more impressive. 🔗 View the team page for upcoming displays: https://nzdf.mil.nz/RNZAF-Black-Falcons 🔗 Learn more about the T-6C Texan II aircraft: https://nzdf.mil.nz/Texan
