Those last few minutes of night take off's, with the first one with landing light creeping along the top of the grass then have an F-18 explode up into the air into that sunset sky...and all the following take off's culminating with the Wedgetail...just phenomenal footage...god bless you all that serve and protect this country...the Top End Protectors 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

I love the teaming of Super's with 35's. I'm no expert however I'd have thought this package, combined with tanker and E-7 support would present a 'challenge' to any OPFOR. Great stuff.

Any old radar operators from South Australia around? A documentary on 🛸 is on the pipe line 🤜🤛

I'm guessing that ground crewman's surname was Taylor.

[@carcaridon]
