The bi-annual low level tactical flying exercise for RNZAF 40 Squadron crews will operate from the Air Force base at
Ohakea.
Formation flying, operations from various landing zones, dropping of light equipment to targeted drop zones and tactical
night flying will make up the flying training essential for RNZAF C-130 operations.
