The RAF Falcons are recognised as the UK's premier military parachute display team. They preform their unique and colourful display aerial display at numerous venues nationwide and are renowned for their famous 11 person non-contact canopy stack display routine. Based at RAF Brize Norton as part of the No1 Parachute Training School, they must undertake extensive preparation as display parachuting requires hard work, a high level of skill and most importantly, trust in other team members and their equipment
