Riverfire Air Traffic Control

On Saturday, September 26th 2015, Riverfire closed the annual Brisbane Festival. Riverfire usually involves a 20+ minute fireworks display synced to music, as well as various flyovers from RAAF aircraft in the late afternoon.

This year, the RAAF operated a C17 Globemaster, 2 F/A-18F 'Super Hornets', and two groups of two Army Aviation attack helicopters.

This visualisation of the aircraft movements during the Riverfire celebrations contains audio recorded between 4:40PM and 7:20PM.
