Fast jet flypast over RAAF Base Williamtown

Up to two Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornets from 1 Squadron and one EA-18G Growler from 6 Squadron will conduct a low-level flypast over RAAF Base Williamtown in support of the Commander Air Combat Group change of command parade.

Aircraft will land at RAAF Base Williamtown following the flypast and depart later in the day for an event at RAAF Base East Sale, VIC.

All low level flying activities are conducted within strict safety and operational guidelines.

Flying is subject to change, including short notice cancellation, due to variables such as air traffic control requirements, weather, and operational availability. 

Noise reduction and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of military flying.
