    RAAF FA-18 Super Hornet (x20) Flyover

    16 jets took off from Amberley RAAF Base this morning and flew up the coast to welcome 4 new arrivals.

    Here they are in formation over the Sunshine Coast.....the little one out of formation is a Hawk 127 generally used on these occasions for in-flight photography.

    Brother in law works on base as a armaments loader on the FA/18's.

    I'll post up some pics he got this morning.

    Wish I could have seen it.

    I was less than 10km from the airbase this morning and I saw one or two planes due to cloud and the fact that I was stuck in a building at the time Click here to enlarge

    Still remember being at Williamtown RAAF base for the 75th Anniversary of the RAAF

    Was a great day out that's for sure

    My biggest highlights were seeing a B52 bomber landing and a spanner in the toolbox that was bigger than me!

    Mind you I was 14 at the time Click here to enlarge

    they had the Lancer (EDIT b1) and the drone at this years in Melbourne and to the FA-18 super hornet is far superior than the F-16 even so the F-16 looks the biz, haha
