How does it feel to fly the Lightning
Now that the aircraft has arrived and operations are underway, the Hunter Defence Support Network (HDSN ) is working with RAAF Williamtown and the Hunter Business Chamber, to open engagement with the F35 community through an annual 'Lightning Lunch’.
The lunch is designed as a means of engagement and networking for F35 stakeholders and Defence supporters - an easier and more entertaining forum that will complement conferences and more formal briefing sessions.
Our inaugural event at Merewether Surfhouse on 1 November, will provide an opportunity for the Hunter Business community to gain a more intimate understanding of the F35 Lightning, it’s roles, capabilities and the opportunities that its arrival in the Hunter provides.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A forum with current RAAF F35 Fighter Pilots. An opportunity to hear from our current F35 pilots about how it feels to fly the Lightning. This will provide unique personal insight into the 5th Generation fighter world.
All proceeds raised go towards improving the lives of our current ADF members in the Hunter.
