F-35A lightning II aircraft ‘drop in’ to east sale for familiarisation activity

2OCU plan to drop into RAAF Base East Sale to provide a familiarisation activity for young aviators and inspire them to fly fast jets.

2OCU is taking the opportunity to visit the RAAF Base East Sale flying school whilst enroute to the Australian International Airshow held at Avalon Airport.

Flying is subject to change due to variables such as air traffic control requirements, weather, and other aviation considerations.

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).
