Air Force Cadets show their colours

If you noticed a series of helicopters and military planes flying over Point Cook late last month, rest assured we weren’t under attack.

The low-flying aircraft were launching the annual Australian Air Force Cadets parade and expo at RAAF Williams Point Cook.

The annual event brought together almost 1000 air force cadets and staff from across the state to take part in the ceremonial parade at the historic Point Cook grounds.

 

Among the aircraft on site and overhead were two fleet air arm helicopters – an S70 Seahawk and Bell 429 training and utility chopper.
