The "Red Checkers" are the current Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) aerobatic display team.
The team consists of seven CT-4E Airtrainers piston-engined aircraft, of which only five participate in airshows.
The airplanes are painted in an overall yellow color and are each equipped with white smoke generators.
All of the Red Checkers pilots are instructors from the Flight Training School at Ohakea airbase. The ground crew is also drawn from the school.
The team does not have separate "official" status as an aerobatic team.
