RAAF base kicks off flight training

BY LAUREN FREEMANTLE

Don't be alarmed if you hear aircraft flying overhead in Salt Ash this morning; the Williamtown RAAF base is conducting flight training today to run from 9am until 5pm.

Single or pairs of F/A-18A/B Hornet aircraft will conduct continuous passes, dropping training rounds over the Salt Ash Range.

The action will continue again at 7:30pm til 9:30pm at a higher altitude to minimize noise, while the RAAF says if they encounter inclement weather training may continue tomorrow.
