Today my wife and I drove for 2 hours and 30 minutes (193km) to Newcastle Airport as I knew the airport is owned by the RAAF Base Williamtown and it is a military airfield, but civilian operations are permitted to land there. Jetstar, Virgin Australia and QantasLink operate flights to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ballina. FlyPelican also operates flights to Ballina, Canberra and recently started, Gold Coast.
Newcastle Airport NTL/YWLM), also known as Williamtown Airport, is a domestic airport in Williamtown, New South Wales. It is located 15 kilometres; 9.2 miles (8 NM) north of Newcastle
It is the 13th busiest airport in Australia. It has a single runway, 12/30 and has an available landing distance of 3,058 m (10,033 ft) with an asphalt surface.
We weren't there long when the action started, when 5 Hawk's overflew us at high speed before coming in to land. Not long after that the F35's started coming out.
It was around 1.45pm when we had about 18 movements all come out at once, one after the other... it made for an exciting, incredible day. We stayed for around 6 hours and then headed back to Sydney.
