Staff Sgt. Sean Paris (left) and Tech. Sgt. Christopher Blake, 517th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, make their way along the ramp to a backdrop of multinational aircraft including a Singapore C-130 Hercules parked behind a New Zealand B-200 twin-engine turbo prop and Ct-4E basic trainer, respectively, at Royal New Zealand Air Force Base Ohakea, New Zealand, Nov. 11 during the second annual Exercise Kiwi Flag. Kiwi Flag is a multilateral RNZAF-sponsored tactical airlift exercise comprising air assets from the U.S. Air Force, RNZAF, Royal Australian Air Force, Republic Of Singapore Armed Forces and French Armed Forces of New Caledonia. Chamberlin, a C-17 Gobemaster III flying crew chief, and Paris, electro-environmental craftsman, are deployed from the 703rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The U.S. team will have ample opportunity to view Pacific-partner aircraft during the exercise, which runs through Nov. 29. Kiwi Flag personnel are supporting Exercise Southern Katipo - held on New Zealand's South Island - by managing air operations and providing cargo and passenger airlift including tactical air drops to SK participants.
