A court martial is sitting at Ōhakea Air Base, near Palmerston North.
Two personnel have interim name and image suppression, while a third, leading aircraftsman Tom Lowther, can be named and was sentenced this afternoon.
He entered guilty pleas to six charges of offering and supplying the class B drug, MDMA, in late 2016, 2017 and early 2018.
The summary of facts shows he offered to supply MDMA to another leading aircraftsman on Christmas Eve 2016.
