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.

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
I had been looking forward to this! Ah well...
It actually a carefully planned invasion...You have been warned!!
On a serious note, would have been an amazing sight and sounded incredible!!

The returning 20 flew over westend I have never been so in awe of military hardware!
it was odd really, they looked quite messy coming towards us but as the photos show, they were in quite a tight formation.Originally Posted by gman
the sound was only okay because they were flying at close to landing speed. They had quite a bit of positive pitch (nose up) to counter the slow speed.
I regret not going to Riverfire in Brisbane this year where one did a fly-by at close to mach 1. now THAT would have been awesome!
unreal sight, im sure the photos dont do it justice !
not a fan of the fa-18, dont really know why australia invested in them at the time.... ive always been an f16 kinda person or a typhoon(if only we could be euro ahah)
but for complete military hardware awe go do the singapore airshow! got to look through a b2 lancer bomber and f14 tomcat while i was there year before last) oh and the predator drone (before the whole fleet of them were hacked/virused lol)

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
