Os moradores de Brisbane, cidade da Austrália, se admiraram com os aviões da Real Força Aérea voando muito próximos aos edifícios, neste final de semana durante o Festival de Brisbane.
Fotos divulgadas na página oficial da Força Aérea mostraram as aeronaves fazendo manobras perigosas. Dias antes do evento, foi postado um vídeo de ensaio dos pilotos.
Os aviões eram um cargueiro C-17A Globemaster e um caça F/A-18F Super Hornet.
Hey Brisvegas, did you see our C-17A Globemaster's Brisbane Festival Sunsuper Riverfire rehearsal over the CBD? We saw you! Check out our view from the cockpit in 360°. ☁️✈️👀🌐

Our Globemaster is much more than just a pretty plane. Here are some fun facts about our highly regarded heavy lifter:
✅ It's a hefty 53m long, 16.8m tall, and has a wingspan of 51.75m
✅ It weighs a 128 tonnes empty, with a whopping max take off weight of 265 tonnes
✅ It can carry paratroopers 10,390km
✅ It has the capacity for 134 passengers; 102 paratroopers; six high-dependency medical patients; one CH-47F Chinook helicopter; more than 70 tonnes of cargo
✅ That voice you can hear is the TAWS - its terrain awareness and warning system - a safety net that automatically provides predictive warnings to the aircrew
✅ It will be back again tomorrow 28 September from around 4.20pm, along with our F/A-18F Super Hornet, to flypast the Riverfire event - see you then! 👋
