Roulettes arrive at Point Cook for the Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show

As Air Force's elite formation aerobatic display team, the Roulettes provide breathtaking displays, using only hand-eye coordination to fly at speeds of up to 590 kilometres per hour. The six Roulettes may experience up to 4.5G (or 4.5 times the normal force of gravity) during a display in their PC-9/A aircraft. Most of the Roulettes have over 3,000 hours flying experience, however they still require a significant amount of training before they can display the Roulettes' famous aerobatics. When the Roulettes are not showcasing their skills to the public, they teach qualified RAAF pilots to become flying instructors at RAAF Base East Sale in Victoria.
