Two Parachute Teams Set for Impressive Demonstrations

For the 2026 edition of the BAF Days, two well‑known parachute teams will deliver separate demonstrations, each showcasing their own discipline and operational expertise.

Team Hayabusa

Founded in 2002 and integrated into the Belgian Defence in 2007, Team NMP PCH Hayabusa competes at the highest level in 4‑Way Formation Skydiving. In this discipline, four skydivers — with an additional videographer — perform as many predetermined formations as possible within 35 seconds after exit.

With multiple world titles (2014, 2016, 2018, 2021) and a long period of international leadership, Hayabusa remains one of the most recognised teams worldwide. After some personnel changes, the team continues to work toward returning to the very top.

At the BAF Days 2026, Hayabusa will perform a high‑performance landing demonstration using small and fast canopies, reaching speeds above 100 km/h.

Black Devils – Belgian Defence Parachute Display Team

Created in 1967 by Lieutenant Y. Mousset, the Black Devils originated from the Parachute Training Centre in Schaffen. The team has a long history of military and civilian competition and public demonstrations during air shows and defence events.

Today, the Black Devils consist exclusively of instructors from the Schaffen training centre. They regularly perform demonstration jumps at military and civilian events from aircraft such as the A109 Agusta, CASA 212 and A400M.

During the BAF Days 2026, the Black Devils will perform a precision jump with a flag, showcasing their mastery and experience.
