Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft from Number 78 Wing will support Army training operations at Salt Ash Air Weapons Range, New South Wales, in November.

On Monday 17 November, Hawk jets from Number 76 Squadron will fly during the day as part of a training activity Exercise Convict Mayhem.

From 18 to 20 November, PC-21 training aircraft from Number 4 Squadron will be flying during the day and into the night.

Members of the community seeking further information are invited to call the RAAF Base Williamtown information and flying activity hotline on 1800 033 200, or refer to https://www.airforce.gov.au/operations/flying-operations.

Every effort is made to minimise inconvenience to residents during training. Air Force appreciates the ongoing support of the local community during these essential training deployments.

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