The Malawi Airforce has a Roundel of black-red-green (counted from outside inwards). [cos98] claims it has used since 1966 when the air wing of the Malawi Army was established.

According to John Cochrane & Stuart Elliot: "Military Aircraft Insignia of the World", 1998, Malawi uses two fin flashes versions:
The first horizontal black-red-green (but without the red sun like in the national flag).
Mark Sensen, 14 Nov 1998

Aircraft Fin Flash.
Tricolour of black over red over green without the rising sun emblem. [cos98] notes that two different fin flash designs are used, the above and one which is black-red-black with white diamond with yellow device (see below). [cos98]calls both versions flags, the latter being called the flag of the army.

The Presidential plane has the President's flag on the fuselage and swift back national flag as fin flash (as seen at http://www.afavia-fotos.co.za/mil6/images/M629.jpg )
