Where: Hidden Valley Raceway, Darwin.
When: 2:00pm Saturday, 21 June 2014 and 2:45pm Sunday, 22 June 2014.
An F/A-18A Hornet from No 75 Squadron RAAF Base Tindal will add to the excitement of the Skycity V8 Supercar Championships with an aerial display ahead of the main race.
A Hornet fighter pilot will perform the aerial display including maximum rate turns and a configured pass along the racetrack before conducting a high speed pass with a pull into vertical for departure.
The Hornet will travel at speeds up to 550 knots (1000 kph) and maintain an altitude not below 250 feet (76 metres) on the high speed pass, with all other altitudes being between 500-1000 feet (152-304 metres).
RAAF flypasts are conducted within strict limitations. Safety, noise reduction and the environment are vital considerations in planning for the conduct of flypast activities.
Please note that flypasts are allocated based on available resources, and are subject to operational and weather considerations. All activities and times are subject to variation.
