Just a quick correction to Dave's argument earlier in the thread that the team will be 14 Sqn one - this is incorrect, I think. CFS and 14 Sqn will share the use of the T6 (just as CFS and PTS shared the fleet of CT4), and the display team will be based on CFS staff, although it is quite likely the team may comprise a 14 Sqn QFI from time to time. If, as Dave posted just above, the official name has formally been changed to 'Black Falcons" I will personally be a little disappointed (as a former CFS 'Red Checker').

Thanks Thax, I am happy to be corrected on this.
It certainly won't be the same without the "Red Checkers". Like the Iroquois fleet, almost fifty years of service to the RNZAF under that team name.

It's official - The Black Falcons are back. And I love it! Awesome. An appropriate name, in my opinion. "NZ Air Force unveil 'Black Falcon' aircrafts" - because missing a word in the air arm's name isn't enough of a mistake I do not miss that industry.

Right number of s's, just on the wrong word! Now 'corrected' by removing the s.

Amateur hour..... The hypocrites think it is fine to rubbish other professions and industries and yet they are completely out of control themselves. Just more junk mail...
