RNZAF Central Flying School Officer Commanding Squadron Leader Paul Stockley said the team was looking forward to returning to the South Island.
Led by Squadron Leader Stuart Anderson, the Black Falcons team members are all instructors with the Central Flying School — which is responsible for training flying instructors and maintaining flying instructional standards across the Air Force — or with No 14 Squadron, which trains all new pilots to the RNZAF.
There are eight team members in the RNZAF Black Falcons — six pilots, a team manager and a team support officer.
