Royal Australian Air Force aircraft will conduct flying displays in Northern Territory in support of Anzac Day commemorations.

Anzac Day is a time to reflect on the contribution made by past and present service personnel who have displayed great courage, discipline and self- sacrifice in choosing a life of service to their country.

Media Note
Air Force is committed to balancing the efficient and responsible use of fuel with the requirement to ensure our people are trained, ready and prepared to conduct operations in support of Australia’s national interests.

Air Force support to public events remains subject to change due to operational requirements and a range of environmental, safety and readiness considerations.

Safety and noise management 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.
