Hercules Aircraft to land in Bre this Saturday

Brewarrina will be treated to a rare sight this Saturday, when a Royal Australian Air Force C-130J Hercules aircraft flies into town.

At the helm will be Tjapukai Shaw, an Aboriginal pilot with deep roots in the region.

Royal Australian Air Force pilot Tjapukai Shaw will land the C-130J Hercules aircraft at the Brewarrina airstrip and remain on site between 11am and 2pm.

His arrival offers locals a rare opportunity to tour the iconic military aircraft, meet air defence personnel, and enjoy a free sausage sizzle. […]

Born and raised in Brewarrina and now an RAAF pilot, Tjapukai Shaw is flying a Hercules aircraft into town this weekend, and everyone is welcome to go along and check it out. Photo contributed
