• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Biggest flock of F18s seen in one go in OZ. Celebrating the arrival of the new ones.
 
Still, what a great a/c and sight to see. I think our lot will rue the day they bought the new JSF as opposed to more Hornets.
 
From what I can make out, these Super Hornets are a fill-in measure in aussie defence hardware to replace the obsolete F1-11's and add to the existing Fa/18 aircraft already in RAAF service. I think the longer term plan is to purchase the F-22 Raptor as a longer term replacement. Not sure that I personally agree with all that, but it is what it is I guess.
