The time honoured tradition of Air Forces conducting a flypast serves to show respect and commemorate significant events. On this occasion, more than 60 historic and modern aircraft will conduct a spectacular flypast in commemoration of the more than 350,000 men and women who have served in the Air Force, and in particular to the memory of the 11,191 RAAF members who died in the service of Australia. We honour their sacrifice.

1645-1715 Last Post Ceremony, Australian War Memorial

If you are unable to get to the lake or one of the vantage points around Canberra, you can enjoy the flypast through ABC TV's live outside broadcast, commencing at 10am.
