Attend a great spectacle on Sunday 31st August at Corrimal, where in order to commemorate the final year of existence of the Vietnam veterans Illawarra branch, the Corrimal RSL sub-branch is sponsoring a free event at Corrimal Rangers Football ground in the Illawarra.

The highlight will be the landing of two HARS Vietnam era Iroquois helicopters which will be open for inspection – see more event details via the flyer below!

Two iconic Iroquois helicopters will land at Corrimal to salute the final parade of the Vietnam Veterans Illawarra as a separate entity on Sunday 31 August.

The community is invited to watch the Iroquois helicopters land at the Rangers football ground at Wilga Street, Corrimal at 10.15 am. Only adverse weather or the operational reality of flying old aircraft will cause a postponement.

Operated and staffed by the Historical Aviation Restoration Society (HARS), ex RAAF and Army UH-1H 703 and former RAN UH-1B 898 will be on the ground and open for inspection until they depart at about 1.15 pm for their home base in Nowra.

The two will land simulating a ‘hot’ incursion using smoke flares under direction from ground controllers HARS member Ken Jackson. After both landings have been safely secured the helicopters will be open for inspection, firstly by the Vietnam Veterans and then by the general public.
