Display pilot Bradley Close used one of the planes to perform an air demo at the Red Bull air race on Sunday.

The third plane , which arrive dfrom Townsville was used for Army tasking purposes and landed in Bunbury to drop off ADF crew who were participating in nine days of training ( at the St John of God Hospital )
