Australians commemorated the 103rd Anzac Day on 25 April 2018 - In Canberra, the Anzac Day Parade and Marchpast was at the Australian War Memorial (AWM). After the playing of the Last Post, three RAAF F/A-18 Hornets from Williamtown NSW performed this Formation Flypast - over Parliament House, Anzac Parade, the AWM and Mt Ainslie. Formation shown in front of New Parliament House (flying past the Port side of the Flagpole), in sunny conditions. The jet efflux is ‘melting’ the base of the Flagpole, and the Parliament House façade. Number 2 Fighter Operational Conversion Unit (2OCU) Special Scheme F/A-18A A21-16 leads at centre, with F/A-18B A21-1xx at left and F/A-18A A21-33 at right. (Single centre-line external fuel tanks fitted this time.) Tradition was broken on 25Apr2019, when three Hawk 127 aircraft did the Anzac Day flypast instead of three Hornets.
