The Royal Australian Air Force - 100 Year Centenary. VK100AF & VI100AF

From our modest beginnings in 1921, Air Force has grown into a potent, World-class Air Force that Australia relies upon in both conflict and peace. The men and women of the Royal Australian Air Force have achieved great success in serving Australia and its national interest over the past 100 years.

The RAAF was formed on 31st March 1921, to mark this Centenary the Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) will be celebrating with two call signs:

• VK100AF 1st March to 31st August 2021, which will be used by a team of Radio Amateurs across the bands around Australia.

• VI100AF 1st March 2021 to 29th May 2021 will be used by Radio Amateurs that are either current or veteran military personnel and some activities may be from military bases.
