List of aircraft of the RAAF

List of aircraft of the RAAF

This is a list of all of the aircraft operated by the Royal Australian Air Force

Omitted from list: various short-term and experimental types, one-off models, civil types impressed into short-term emergency wartime service. Types marked RAN operated by the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm. Categorisation is arbitrary, and dependent on the primary practical use of the type, not its design use. For example, the F-4 Phantom, though designed as a fighter and used as such overseas, served in the RAAF only as a bomber and is listed accordingly.
