A single F-35A Lightning II aircraft is scheduled to conduct handling display practice over Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens on Monday, May 15.
The training is expected to take place at 2.45pm in a specifically designated airspace area on the northern side of Port Stephens.
Residents living in the area will be treated to the flying display, which has been developed for upcoming air shows.
It is common for fast jet aircraft from RAAF Base Williamtown to use the airspace around the northern edge of Port Stephens for practice runs.
All activities are conducted within strict safety and operational guidelines.
The flying activity schedule is subject to change, including short notice cancellation, due to variables such as air traffic control, weather and other aviation considerations.
Safety, noise management and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of Defence flying activities.
Participating aircraft will operate with a view to minimising the impact on the local communities, Defence said in a statement.
Members of the public can access further information regarding aircraft noise at www.defence.gov.au/aircraftnoise/, or by calling 1800 033 200.
