Air Force Balloon to support the Mildura Airshow

The Royal Australian Air Force Balloon is scheduled to support the Mildura Airshow in Mildura Victoria, on Sunday 08 September 2024.

Weather dependant, this will include meeting the Air Force Balloon crew and a tethered flight, static or walk through display of the Air Force Balloon.

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

Safety, noise management and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of Defence flying activities. Participating squadrons will operate with a view to minimising the impact on local communities.
