A C-130J Hercules from Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Richmond will conduct low-level flying training activities over the Sydney Harbour, North Coast and South Coast of New South Wales.

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.
