Around 1500 today, I was sitting at the traffic lights in a northern suburb when I heard the noise of many engines. Looking away from the red traffic light I glimpsed the Roulettes formation fly over the Grand Prix and into a beautifully executed loop. For the first time in my life I prayed for the traffic lights to stay red for a bit longer and they did, just for me. As the Roulettes levelled out from their dive in perfect formation and disappeared from my field of view the lights turned green. Nice timing. The whole episode took only 30 seconds or so, but what a brilliant sight. Those RAAF pilots sure can fly
