The Royal Australian Air Force will conduct a flying display over Rockhampton Airport in Queensland on Thursday 13 August 2026. 

The display will include Pilatus PC-21 aircraft piloted by the Roulettes – the Royal Australian Air Force’s aerobatic display team who represent Air Force aviation at events across Australia. 

Established in 1970, the Roulettes have proudly showcased Air Force professionalism for more than 50 years.

There will also be an opportunity for local residents to meet the Roulettes on the ground at Rockhampton Airport before the display.
