RAAF Roulette Displays

Sunday 12th Oct 2025 – time yet to be confirmed

RAAF Royal Australian Air Force will put on a spectacular show in the skies above Mount Panorama this weekend at the Repco Bathurst 1000.

The Pilatus PC-9/A retired from Roulettes operations in March 2019 and was replaced by Pilatus PC-21 – one of the most advanced training aircraft in the world.

The Roulettes fly as low as 250 feet (80m) at speeds of up to 370 knots  (685km/h) and pilots can experience up to 6 ‘G’, or 6 times, the force of gravity during a display. Flying as close as three metres apart, the team showcases the level of visual judgement and hand-eye coordination that pilots in the Air Force are able to achieve.

Roulette pilots are Qualified Flying Instructors who work at the Central Flying School, based at RAAF Base East Sale in Victoria. Between displays, they teach other Air Force pilots to become instructors.
