Celebrating Skyfire 2024

Canberra Skyfire is back after a five-year gap! The Australian Defence Force is proud to support Skyfire 2024 in the air and on the ground. 

There will be an exciting flypast by our cutting edge E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft, while at ground level, don’t miss Australia’s Federation Guard (AFG) precision drill team and the Rock Band from the Band of the Royal Military College. 

Defence personnel are available for interviews in the lead up to Skyfire 2024. To arrange an interview, please contact Defence Media.  

Flying is subject to variables including air traffic control requirements, weather and operational availability. Flypasts and displays may be subject to cancellation at short notice.

Noise reduction and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of military flying. 

Imagery of participating aircraft can be found on the Defence Images webpage.
