Fast jet flypast over RAAF Base East Sale

Up to two Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornets from 1 Squadron and one EA-18G Growler from 6 Squadron will conduct two low-level flypasts over RAAF Base East Sale in support of the No. 54 and 55 Mission Aircrew Course graduation parade.

Aircraft will land at RAAF Base East Sale following the flypast and depart on Friday 16 December to return to RAAF Base Amberley, QLD.

All 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.
