The Argus reported last week the Gladstone ANZAC Day service was temporarily interrupted by numerous small planes.
However, the Argus was recently notified the planes, who were piloted by the Kempsey Flying Club, were there at request of the Kempsey Macleay RSL Club.
Kempsey Flying Club president John Dunn said the flyover of the Kempsey and Gladstone services was an annual event.
"We do the flyover every year at the request of the RSL Club," Mr Dunn told the Argus.
"It costs us a lot of money and it all comes out of our own pockets but we do it to pay our respects.
"People want us to do it.
"We flyover the Kempsey and Gladstone services and sometimes our pilots will fly over the South West Rocks service too."
Mr Dunn has been completing the flyover for the last few years and looks forward to completing the flight on ANZAC Day next year.
