The Royal Australian Air Force is the second-oldest independent and permanent air force in the world (after Britain's Royal Air Force). The pilots of the Royal Australian Air Force receive their training at the RAAF base in Sale, Victoria.

Within the kitchen, an average of 1000 meals per day are served during breakfast, lunch & dinner for the flight officer’s training school and the RAAF Roulettes aerobatic team. The physically demanding regimen of their education means these pilots require both nutritious meals, and the security that these meals will be served when they need them.
