Defence, in partnership with the Ipswich City Council, will host the Ipswich Amberley Air Tattoo (Air Tattoo). The Air Tattoo will be held over the weekend of 29 and 30 October 2022 at Australia’s largest Air Force base, RAAF Base Amberley. The event will open at 9am and close at 4pm on both days.
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. The base has a long association with the City of Ipswich dating back to 17 June 1940, when it first commenced its operations during the Second World War.
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.
