A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) C-130J Hercules from RAAF Base Richmond will conduct low-level flying training activities across several Western Australian locations, including Rottnest Island, the Perth coast, Ningaloo Reef and Broome.

The RAAF greatly appreciates the ongoing support and understanding of local communities during these activities.

Media Note:

Flying activities are conducted within strict safety and operational guidelines.

Flying is subject to change due to variables such as air-traffic control requirements, weather, and other aviation considerations.

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