The Roulettes during the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of VP Day in 2005

The Roulettes are the Royal Australian Air Force's aerobatic display team. The Roulettes were formed as part of the RAAF's Central Flying School in 1970 to celebrate the RAAF's 50th anniversary and have been a permanent team ever since. The team flew Macchi MB-326 jet trainers until 1989 when they were reequipped with Pilatus PC-9 trainers. The Roulettes currently provide about 150 flying displays a year in Australia and in friendly countries around the South-east Asian region.
