As a lead-up to the RAN¡¯s 100th anniversary fly-past over Sydney harbour, three AP-3C Orions from RAAF base Edinburgh¡¯s No. 92 Wing conducted a practice formation over the multi-national fleet in the Eastern Australian Exercise Area. The International Fleet Review from 3-11 October 2013 commemorated the centenary of the first entry of the Royal Australian Navy¡¯s Fleet into Sydney on 4 October 1913. Approximately 40 warships from the RAN and navies from around the world as well as 17 tall ships participated in the event. The program included a tall ships parade, warship arrival, aerial fly pasts, ship open days, parades, harbour demonstrations, and a fireworks spectacular.
