Kiwi Blue Parachute Display Team

            The Air Force team have different routines depending on weather conditions. “If it is cloudy we can fly under the cloud base and we open our parachutes straight away.”
 
When they jump from the aircraft at 9000feet, they hold onto each other in a star formation. “We then break and track away from each other at around 5,500 feet and at 4,000 feet we deploy our shutes,” said Kevin.
 
All members of the Display Unit are full-time instructors. Once they are ‘free fall’ qualified and have gained the appropriate experience they are gradually introduced into the display team.
