Fighter jet set to soar through Sydney
A ROYAL Australian Air Force F/A-18 fighter jet will soar through Sydney skies today to commemorate all who served and died in the defence of Australia in 1942 and 1943.
The Battle for Australia Day is each year acknowledged on the first Wednesday in September.
It commemorates all actions taken in the Pacific Region to defend Australia against the Japanese military force.
An F/A-18 aircraft will zoom over Garden Island and Woolloomooloo, in Sydney's east, just after 11am (AEST) today.
Approaching from the east, it will then perform a maximum power vertical climb over the Cenotaph in Martin Place.
