RNZAF Kiwi Red display team

The “Kiwi Red” was an aerobatic display team drawn from No. 75 Squadron of Royal New Zealand Air Force. This team flew six A-4K Skyhawk fighters with no special color scheme but which were equipped with white smoke generators. The team lasted from 1988 until 1990 and were regarded as one of the top display teams in the world at the time. The “Kiwi Red” team performed in airshows a maneuver not used by any other team in the world. While in a diamond formation, the leader's aircraft #1 would perform a mid air refuel with the slot aircraft and this continued while they performed a barrel-roll with the two planes connected.
