Reports at the time suggested the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 100 metres and cruised at 300km/h.

The TWU’s national secretary, Michael Kaine
The TWU has reiterated calls for the return of JobKeeper payments for aviation workers after Qantas warned it may have to bring back stand-downs if lockdowns persist.
The union’s national secretary, Michael Kaine, said, “Many aviation workers are very worried about what is going to happen with their jobs. They need a guarantee from the federal government that will be able to support their families if there are mass stand downs.”
It comes after Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce appeared to lobby for the return of JobKeeper in an email to staff and Rex announced it would cut or reduce services on Wednesday night.
