Landing on the cross

Pre-season training is now complete, and with storms battering the area, that's probably a good thing! Our ratification display (where the Air Officer Commanding No 2 Group watches a display to make sure we're ready to jump in front of the public) is coming up in a couple of weeks, so there's a lot of kit preparation, planning and fine tuning to be done. If all goes well, we'll then start the season in early May, carrying out displays across the UK until the end of September. We look forward to seeing you soon!

RAF Falcons Pre-Season Training

The Falcons are currently working hard carrying out pre-season parachute training. The new first year team members are learning how to safely form part of the Falcons' trademark canopy 'loose stack', with a lot of help from the Team Coach and 2nd and 3rd years. Meanwhile, the 3rd years are nearing the end of their Military Freefall Instructor Training before moving on in the Autumn.

Unfortunately the bad weather has had an impact on the training programme but we're working hard to catch up.
