Thank you to all the cadets who took part in our recent F/A-18 colouring contest – there were some great entries and it made our job really hard to pick the winners!
Finally we narrowed the field down to two winners and they;
Ben Spratt (9)
Tiger McKie (11)
Tiger captured the colours of the special anniversary F/A-18 Hornet perfectly, while Ben went for something different with an F/A-18 in the colours of the Roulettes aerobatic display team!
Watch in the coming days for details of our next competition!
At just 11 years old, Cadet Willow Plenty is already receiving recognition for her commitment to the Australian Air League by being named Junior Cadet of the Year.

ANZAC Day 2020 was different to ANZAC Days of years past. The COVID pandemic prevented gatherings at services or marches, but it could not stop the ANZAC Spirit.
Right around the country, Australians commemorated ANZAC Day 2020 by taking part in “Light Up The Dawn” from their driveway or balcony. The Australian Air League took part with cadets and Officers submitting photos and video that were prominently displayed through the media.
Cadets and Officers are invited to once again take part in a Last Post video, to be posted online in the lead up to ANZAC Day.
We want you to submit a photo or video of yourself in uniform at dawn (0600hrs) now on your driveway, at your front gate or on your verandas. Cadet may also choose to video themselves at this time reciting The Ode, or you may wish to explain what ANZAC Day means to you.
We will include all suitable photos submitted as well as the best videos in a montage clip to be released at Dawn on ANZAC Day, 25th April 2021. This is your chance to take part in a grassroots campaign to commemorate ANZAC Day in 2021.
Photos and videos, and any questions can be sent to anzacday@airleague.com.au Be sure to include your name and membership number in your email. Alternatively upload your photos and videos using the link provided here.
Unable to take part in an ANZAC Day Service or march this year?
