The fighter jet roars overhead. An F-35, apparently. Even without its afterburner, the sound is almost deafening. If the regular noise of military aircraft wasn't already a giveaway, the sign on the road confirms I'm at RAAF Williamtown. Today, though, I'm here for the larger sign in front of me: Fighter World.
