Hi Wesley, in general the Hornets fly from 9am to 4pm on weekdays. With all the runway works going on at Williamtown the Fighter World observation deck is the best place to view the aircraft. You will have to pay the admission fee to use the deck. As an alternative the cafe has free entry and you can sit outdoors while enjoying a coffee, drink or light snack and watch all the action from there.
