Especially when it’s Anzac Day.
Again, Tindal’s F/A-18A Hornets are in demand for services across the NT.
The pilots need to meet strict deadlines for the various services at Adelaide River, Palmerston, Darwin and back to Katherine tomorrow to thrill the crowds.
Travelling at about 650kmh, the Hornets from Number 75 Squadron will conduct flypasts across the NT in support of Anzac Day commemorations.
The aircraft will flyover the Darwin Cenotaph at 9.05am, Palmerston RSL at 9.10am, Adelaide River between 9.20am and 9.30am and over the Katherine march at 10.05am.
