No. 14 Squadron RNZAF is a squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Formed during the Second World War, it served in the Solomon Islands campaign and in the postwar occupation of Japan. During the Cold War the squadron was stationed in the Middle East for a time and later in Singapore during the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation. It was disbanded in 2001 along with the rest of the RNZAF Strike Wing. In 2015 No. 14 Squadron was re-raised and equipped with 11 Beechcraft T-6 Texan II. A new aerobatic display team called the Black Falcons was also formed using the new aircraft. They replaced the RNZAF display team known as the Red Checkers.
