Everyone has their favourite position for Skyworks. Some prefer the grassy slopes of Kings Park whilst many like the sandy beaches of the Foreshore.
However regardless how early you arrive, you would be hard pressed to secure a better vantage point than the pilots at Royal Aero Club WA (RACWA), who, since the Air Show’s inception in 1993 have spent Australia Day in the air.
As one of the largest flying training organisations in Australia, RACWA plays an important chapter in Skyworks’ 25 year history.
Western Australians look forward to seeing RACWA fly the flag (literally) again for us on 26th.
