Royal New Zealand Air Force Flight Lt. Tim Pevreal, prepares to join U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III crew members for a preflight brief at RNZAF Base Ohakea, New Zealand, before embarking on their airlift mission in support of Exercise Kiwi Flag Nov. 9. Pevreal is currently assigned to the RNZAF Central Flying School where he is earning his instructor-pilot certification. The aspiring instructor, who assumed liaison officer duties on board the U.S. Air Force C-17 for the mission, said he expected the flight to be mutually beneficial as he geared up for the sortie. Kiwi Flag is a multilateral RNZAF-sponsored tactical airlift exercise conducted in New Zealand. Air assets from U.S. Air Force, RNZAF, Royal Australian Air Force, Republic of Singapore Air Force, and French Armed Forces of New Caledonia are participating. Air operations will be conducted out of RNZAF Base Ohakea, New Zealand. KF provides air support to Exercise Southern Katipo, New Zealand Defence Force's largest multilateral joint force amphibious exercise with eight other nations participating: United States Army and Marines, Australia, Canada, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Papua New Guinea and Tonga.
