RAAF Aircraft supports Army activity

A single F-35A Lightning II fast jet aircraft from Royal Australian Air Force Base Williamtown will conduct operational support to an Army training activity in the Bulahdelah and Forster areas on the New South Wales mid-north coast

Media Note

The flying operations are in support of an Army training program that requires high altitude air support from fast jet aircraft.

Aircraft will operate during daylight flying hours. Flying is subject to change due without notice.

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.
