Two F-35A Lightning II aircraft from RAAF Base Williamtown will conduct diversion training activities in the vicinity of and at Tamworth Airport this afternoon. This diversion training is being conducted at short notice due to unfavourable weather condition at Amberley. All training activities are conducted within strict safety and operational guidelines.
