A Royal Australian Air Force [RAAF] C-130J Hercules will make return trips across the Tasman for this year’s Wings Over Wairarapa Air Festival at the Hood Aerodrome in Masterton this weekend.
The RAAF Hercules participated in the flying display practice day yesterday and will participate the air display today.
The RAAF Hercules will conduct an “initial and pitch” before the crowds at Hood Aerodrome before approaching the runway for a full-stop landing.
The RAAF crew will then reverse their Hercules back along the runway, and then take off for the return flight to Australia.
