Increased Military operations at Delamere Air Weapons Range

Exercise Black Dagger is the culminating live fire activity for No 4 Squadron Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) course.

The Exercise is supported by aircraft operating from RAAF Base Tindal including F-35A Lightning II, Hawk 127 lead-in fighter and Pilatus PC-21 Forward Air Control.

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.
