Super flyover for Anzac Day on the Tweed

THE Royal Australian Air Force will conduct a series of flypasts over Anzac Day ceremonies across the Northern Rivers tomorrow.

F/A-18f Super Hornets will pierce the skies over Iluka, before making their way over the Tweed, to commemorate more than a century of service and sacrifice by the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, Australia and its allies in war, conflict and peacekeeping.
