Two RAAF F/A-18F Super Hornets buzzed Brisbane today for @brisbanefestival Riverfire rehearsals. It's always a spectacular site to see (and hear)! Keep an eye on the skies from 4:52pm Saturday for more RAAF aerial action.

Listen to those CF-6 engines as the KC-10 from the 60thAMW based at @TravisAFB departs @SydneyAirport on its worldwide farewell tour.

The aircraft type will be retired from @usairforce service by the middle of the year. We'll certainly miss seeing this beauty in Australia!

With the @pacificairshow in action at Huntington Beach this weekend, we can't help but think back to when it was the Gold Coast's turn in August. @fly.focused and his amazing Yak 110 is always a crowd favourite!

A major milestone for Australia’s Air Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance capability.

During a recent visit to RAAF Base Edinburgh, Acting Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Richard Marles announced Initial Operational Capability for the MQ-4C Triton and MC-55A Peregrine, along with major P-8A Poseidon upgrades.

The upgrades will strengthen the Royal Australian Air Force’s ability to deliver persistent ISR across Australia’s primary area of military interest.

RAAF Base Edinburgh remains the RAAF’s principal Air ISR hub and home to No. 92 Wing.

After two decades of service, the Australian Army’s ARH Tiger is preparing to conclude flying operations in Darwin, marking the end of an important chapter for Army Aviation.

The 1st Aviation Regiment will commemorate the occasion with an open day, formal dinner and flyover of Darwin, as the Army continues its transition to the AH-64E Apache.

With six Apaches now delivered and all 29 expected by the end of 2029, a new chapter in Australia’s attack helicopter capability is well underway.

@riverinahelicopters Bo 105 pulling some amazing moves that would make 007 proud, at the @pacificairshow Gold Coast. 😎 For a bonus point, who can name the Bond film this stunt appears in?

The @airforceroulettes joined the @vmm268_reddragons MV-22 Ospreys over the @cityofmelbourne and the @mcg this week.

A pre-game flyover from the @ausairforce and the @mrfdarwin, as well as the gift of an @afl ball to the @marines showcases the friendship and interoperability between our two nations.

How great was it to see the flyover, and the @nfl here in Melbourne?
