A Super Hornet fighter jet and tonnes of fireworks are all set to put ... (ABC News)

The Super Hornet fighter will reach almost 1000 kilometres per hour just metres from Brisbane's skyscrapers as a part of the Riverfire event.

"Once I was in the air force, it took approximately four years to get to the squadron and be able to fly the jet," he said. "And then finally, you work your way up to the Super Hornets." "And from then on, I always wanted to be in the Air Force." "When I was down in Melbourne, I would see the flyover at the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and that inspired me when I was about eight years old to want to become a pilot," he said. "For the display, it is going to be going past South Bank at about 600 kilometres per hour, and then finally down past Eagle Street at 900 kilometres per hour," he said. "It is great to have the Super Hornets back to be able to show the public what we can do."
