was there any sort of flyover this morning over the city? Here in Como there sounded like a jet pass very low overhead, unlike anything I have heard before...

The red bull air race is on next weekend could have something to do with that. Testing the course or something.

noway, i heard the jets today also fly over the city. i did not see them but i did hear them and they were definately not for the red bull air race. they were either F-111 Strike aircraft or the FA/18 Hornet which are both aircraft from the RAAF.

cheers

It was Remembrance Day guys, RAAF flyover was for the Diggers and the ceremony at the Kings Park memorial.

Don't know if it still happens but when i worked in the city a while back the police used to block the intersection of William St. and St Georges Tce. so that a bugler could walk to the middle of the intersection and play as the bells tolled 11.00am...

As soon as the minute silence was over (I think he played a small rendition signalling the end of the silence/war etc.) he walked off and the traffic would flow again...

11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month...Lest We Forget.
