Did you notice planes flying in formation over Albany’s Peace Park on ANZAC Day? If you missed it make sure you check out the video here of the crew that were flying and the view from the ground here.

This year, Priya was the only female to fly with the rest of the civilian crew for the formation fly over during the commemoration service held in Albany, on the 26th April 2021. This has been a major milestone for her and one more to tick off the bucket list.

Click here to see the video of the 8 craft formation fly over. During formation flying the leader is the eyes, ears and mouth for all the other air crafts. Everyone else must follow exactly what the leader does to the split second while also trying to fly their own aeroplane. The wing tips are to be roughly 3 meters apart. To maintain separation and avoid turbulence there is a step down process where the aircraft behind the leader is lower than the leader. The aircraft below the 2nd tier of planes are even further down and so on.

Priya is an avid flyer and takes to the sky every chance she gets. She loves to fly over our beautiful local spots around Albany and the Great Southern, all the way up to Jandakot.

She hopes that more women will be encouraged to take to the skies.
