The Royal Jordanian Falcons ( Arabic صقور الأردن الملكية, DMG Ṣuqūr al-Urdunn al-malakiyya , German translated: Royal Jordanian Falcons) are the official aerobatic team of the Jordanian Air Force .
The season was founded on November 7, 1978 at the behest of the Hashemite King Hussein bin Talal . In the past, Pitts S-2A Special and Walter Extra EA300 machines were used. In 2007 the older EA300 were replaced by the more modern Walter Extra 300 / L. A formation usually consists of four machines, with a fifth aircraft standing by as a reserve.
The squadron was initially stationed at Marka International Airport near Amman . The company has now moved to Aqaba Airport in the south of the country. Although the pilots are recruited from the Jordanian Air Force, the aircraft are owned by Royal Jordanian Airlines , which also maintains the aircraft. The aerobatic team can be seen regularly at events in Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa.
