The Royal Jordanian Falcons is a perennial national aerobatic team formed in 1976 at the initiative of His Majesty the Late King Hussein Bin Talal. It has an international reputation for precision, professionalism and spectacular performance.

Royal Jordanian Falcons function as a highly specialized asset for the promotion of Jordan, serving as the country's "roving ambassadors".

Their unique status as a professional aerobatic team allows them the opportunity not only to present the sophisticated state of aviation in Jordan, but also to promote goodwill and interest in their native country.

The Royal Jordanian Falcons team presently consist of 5 Extra-300 L aerobatic aircraft. The team headquarters has recently been transferred by Royal Decree to King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba (Red Sea), in an effort to enhance tourism and investment there.

With the continuous support of His Majesty King Abdullah II and under the supervision of His Royal Highness Prince Feisal Bin Al-Hussein the honorary President, the team continues to tour the world exposing the Jordanian family to approximately 3 to 5 million people every year.

The team is financially sponsored by the Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC), logistically supported by both Royal Jordanian Airlines and the Royal Jordanian Air Force.

The team displays in a 4-ship formation presenting a blend of both formation and solo aerobatic performances.

All display pilots are Air Force volunteer pilots who usually fly with the team for a period of 3 to 4 years before returning to their fighter squadrons.

The maintenance team consists of specialised engineers with long aviation experience fully employed by the Royal Jordanian Falcons.
