A C-130J Hercules from Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Richmond will conduct low-level flying training activities in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney on 17 December 2025.

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. Air Force appreciates the support from local communities.
