Royal Australian Air Force C-130 Gilgandra community engagement

A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) C‑130J Hercules will conduct a static display at the Gilgandra Aerodrome, as part of a community engagement, on Sunday 3 August 2025. Members of the public are welcome to attend, have a look inside the C-130J and have a chat with Defence personnel.

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. Information on aircraft noise and current flying activities is available at www.defence.gov.au/aircraftnoise or by calling 1300 DEFENCE (1300 333 362).
