Fleet History
The RNZAF took delivery of the first of 13 leased CT-4E Airtrainers (NZ1985 — NZ1997) in August 1998. The 13th aircraft was delivered in June 1999.

Central Flying School
The Central Flying School is a unit in the Royal New Zealand Air Force. The School gets its name from the Central Flying School of the Royal Air Force and an official affiliation between the two schools was approved by Her Majesty the Queen on 7 January 1957.In 1993 all RNZAF flying training units, including CFS moved to RNZAF Base Ohakea. The primary role of CFS is the training of flying instructors (QFI) for the New Zealand Defence Force, and to provide the audit function of maintenance and inspection of standards of flying instruction within the RNZAF. CFS currently operates the CT-4E Airtrainer, which are operated by Pilot Training Squadron.

On the 14th of January 2010 0800hrs Squadron Leader Nick Cree lost his life in aircraft NZ1990 while practising a solo routine for the 'Red Checkers' aerobatic team. I would like to dedicate this project to Nick Cree, his family and all his colleagues at the RNZAF. Rest in peace.
