Heybrech van Niekerk was the first lady to represent the Silver Falcons Aerobatic Team, the national display team of the South African Air Force. She was selected to fly in the number 2 position in 2011 and later moved to the number 4 position. During her time, Heybrech has completed 75 public airshows.
The Silver Falcons selected Heybrech, celebrating the milestone of having the first lady in the team, before the RAF Red Arrows or the USN Blue Angels.
She completed her service in the SA Air Force in 2017. She served as a Flying Instructor at the Presidential Squadron, operating on both Falcon 50 and Boeing BBJ aircraft. Heybrech has operated as a corporate pilot since leaving the SAAF.
