Three F/A-18A Hornets from Number 2 Operational Conversion Unit (2OCU) RAAF Base Williamtown will perform a flypast over Canberra as part of Anzac Day commemorations between 11:45am and 12:15pm.

The F/A-18A Hornets will perform a close formation flypast between Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial, aligning with Anzac Parade to overfly the Anzac Day Ceremony.

The aircraft will fly at speeds up to 350 knots (563km/h) and an altitude not below 500 feet (152 metres).

Excellent! There should be more flypasts. Thanks to the men and women of the defence force past and present.
