Air Force and Army join forces for Brisbane Festival's Riverfire

A Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornet, C-17A Globemaster III and two Australian Army Tiger armed reconnaissance helicopters (ARH) will conduct flypasts and flying displays for the Brisbane Festival Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust.

Media note

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.

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