A number of F-35A Lightning II aircraft from No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit (2OCU) and 77 Squadron (77SQN) at Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Williamtown will conduct a formation flypast and low-level passes.

There are no media opportunities available for these flying activities. All 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. Information on aircraft noise and current flying activities is available at www.defence.gov.au/aircraftnoise or by calling 1300 DEFENCE (1300 333 362).
