Royal Australian Air Force Roulettes

Community Event

26 Jan 2026 Annual Event

Strap in for an unforgettable spectacle this Australia Day as the Roulettes take centre stage in Sydney.

For 13 thrilling minutes, the Royal Australian Air Force’s (RAAF) elite aerobatic display team, composed of some of the nation’s most skilled pilots, will showcase their awe-inspiring flying prowess over Sydney Harbour.

Watch in amazement as the daredevil aviators push their aircraft to the limits, executing jaw-dropping loops, rolls, and high-G turns. Flying at astonishing speeds of up to 685km/h and as low as 200 feet, the Roulette flyers can endure up to six times the force of gravity, delivering an adrenaline-pumping experience for onlookers.

The aerial acrobatics in the skies above Sydney Harbour on 26 January are exhilarating. Prime viewing locations to see the looping, whooping, barrel-rolling display of action from the RAAF’s top guns include Circular Quay, Hicksons Road Reserve, Overseas Passenger Terminal and the Sydney Opera House.
