An Air Force C-130J Hercules adorned with 4.6-metre White Ribbons on its tail will conduct a flypast of Colo High School on Wednesday, November 25.
The aircraft will approach the school from the east at 10.50am for its initial flypast, before returning to overfly from the south immediately after.
Each flypast will see the aircraft flying at a minimum altitude of 75 metres.
The whole flight will be subject to variables including weather, air traffic control, and aircraft availability, and may be cancelled at short notice.
The flypast will be in support of Colo High School’s White Ribbon Day Touch Football Challenge.
Air Commodore Richard Lennon, Commander of Air Mobility Group at RAAF Base Richmond, said the flypasts was one of several Defence initiatives to support White Ribbon Australia.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to bring the public’s attention to a very serious social issue that affects Australia today,” Air Commodore Lennon said.
“Flypasts such as this are opportunities to encourage communities to have a conversation about or reflect on their attitudes towards male-led violence against women.”
Air Mobility Group, which is the arm of the Air Force responsible for the C-130J Hercules, was awarded White Ribbon Workplace Accredited status on November 16.
