Top Ten Iconic RAAF Aircraft - Great Videos

In the lead up to 31st March 2021, the official Centenary date for the RAAF, the Air Force is revealing its Top Ten Iconic Aircraft -  one each week.

Two aircraft have been revealed so far. We suggest you click on the photos to be taken to be taken to a website with a fascinating explanatory video.

Number 10 - F/A-18A/B Hornet - "a true icon of our skies that's given us nearly 35 years of service, the F/A-18A/B “Classic” Hornet."



Number 9 - S.E.5A - When the Royal Australian Air Force was formed on 31 March 1921, the S.E.5A was part of Britain’s imperial gift to help establish our new organisation. As our first fighter aircraft, Australian aircrews flew the S.E.5A in combat during World War I before its transition into a crucial training platform during the 1920s.
