Fighter jet engine failure prompts emergency landing

An FA-18 Hornet has made an emergency landing at RAAF Base Williamtown, amid fears of engine failure.
The pilot requested to return to base just after 11am, when a warning light came on in the cockpit.

They meant, suspecting that the engine failure could occur following with the panel warnings.

Non event. Precautionary landings are a feature of powered flight.

VERY slow news day in Williamtown.
