The RAF Falcons have received their Public Display Authority (PDA), granting clearance to perform aerobatic displays for 2025 season.

This marks a significant milestone for the team, representing the culmination of months of intensive training, safety checks and regulatory compliance. The PDA enables the RAF Falcons to bring its high energy, precision displays to airshows and public events across the UK and overseas.
Officer Commanding RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team, Flight Lieutenant Adams-Cairns, said:
“It was an honour to present the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team to Air Officer Commanding 1 Group for our Public Display Authority this season. The team have worked exceptionally hard over the winter months to develop our aerial display and perfect our in-air skills. This season we introduce a new manoeuvre to our display: the ‘helix’ and are excited to demonstrate this, along with our other signature formations, to Air Vice-Marshal Jackson before displaying to crowds both nationally and internationally this summer.”
