Royal Air Force Falcons

The RAF Falcons are based at RAF Brize Norton as part of the No1 Parachute Training School. All of the Falcons are selected from the RAF's Parachute Jumping Instructors. Team members receive further intensive training to ensure that together, they are able to perform the highly skilled freefall and canopy manoeuvres that culminate in the Team safely landing, in quick succession, in front of the spectators.

The RAF Falcons are primarily supported by the C130 Hercules aircraft and crews from RAF Lyneham. The C130, as well as being an excellent jump platform, provides an exciting and fitting finale to each display as it executes a low level flypast. However, the C130 is not always available and the Puma helicopter based at RAF Benson is a great alternate jump platform for the Team.
