Just posted to the RNZAF's Facebook page is the following message:

Due to reduced availability of the T-6C Texan II fleet there will be no RNZAF Black Falcons displays this season. At present, our operational focus is on initial pilot courses and flying instructor training. There will however be solo Texan displays at these upcoming events:

✈️ 15 February, Napier Art Deco Festival 2019 | 7.15pm
✈️ 16 February, Napier Art Deco Festival 2019 | 12.30pm
✈️ 17 February, Napier Art Deco Festival 2019 | 2.15pm
✈️ 28 March, Maadi Cup Cambridge | 12.00pm
✈️ 31 March, Gold Cup Regatta, Foxton | 2.00pm

We will also have a large Air Force presence at Wings Over Wairarapa (22-24 Feb), and Yealands Classic Fighters Omaka (19-21 Apr) air shows.

We are really looking forward to being back in the sky later in 2019.

And it so happens that I've just posted photos of the Texan's first public appearance I think at WOWairarapa 2015. So probably not solo displays at the two big shows then?

D'oh! It has Thames at the top, and I was searching after seeing a Texan low-flying notice about Thames to Tauranga on Saturday!
