At midday the aircraft will fly from south to north, over Lake Burley Griffin, passing over the Australian War Memorial.
Background:
Sea Kings from Nowra based 817 Squadron will farewell the national capital when they conduct a fly past over Canberra and Jervis Bay on Monday.
It is the last time that the region will see a formation of Sea King helicopters, before the aircraft are decommissioned in December 2011.
The Sea Kings had provided 35 years of dedicated service to the Navy, flying in excess of 60,000 hours in a range of operations both at home and abroad.

All flypasts’/displays are depending on weather, pilot availability, and aircraft serviceability.
