Ipswich Amberley Air Tattoo 2022

Defence, in partnership with the Ipswich City Council, will host the Ipswich Amberley Air Tattoo at Australia’s largest Air Force base, RAAF Base Amberley.

RAAF Base Amberley has a long association with the City of Ipswich with the base first commencing operations on 17 June 1940 during the Second World War.

The Air Tattoo will be an exhilarating aviation experience giving people a rare insight into the base, people, aircraft and military capabilities that call Amberley home. It is also a great opportunity for Defence to thank the people of Ipswich and surrounding communities for their support to RAAF Base Amberley and the Australian Defence Force members who serve there.

Air Force aircraft will conduct flying displays and flypasts over RAAF Base Amberley during this two day event. Aircraft will also be on static display on the ground as well as a range of military equipment being on display showcasing the capabilities of a number of Australian Defence Force units and squadrons located at the base.

Aircraft expected to take part in the Air Tattoo include:

• EA-18G Growler
• F/A-18F Super Hornet
• F-35A Lightning II
• C-17A Globemaster III
• C-27J Spartan
• KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport
• AAFC Gliders and Diamond aircraft
• Air Force Roulettes
