Air Force rehearsal flights for Brisbane Festival's Riverfire

A Royal Australian Air Force EA-18G Growler and a C-17A Globemaster III will conduct rehearsal flights in the lead-up to the Brisbane Festival Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust, on Saturday 2 September 2023.

Low-level flying activities are conducted within strict safety and operational guidelines.

Flying is subject to change, including short notice cancellation, due to variables such as air traffic control requirements, weather, and operational availability.

Noise reduction and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of military flying.

Drone flying is prohibited prior to and during the rehearsal flights because of the dangers this poses to low-flying aircraft.

Further information about the EA-18G Growler and C-17A Globemaster III can be found on our EA-18G Growler and C-17A Globemaster III pages.
